Billy has been working in the camper all day today again doing “stuff” I don’t understand to improve our three communication issues – internet access, cell phone coverage and satellite TV service. We all who know Billy know that he cannot live without internet access and satellite TV complete with at least 250 channels. I, on the other hand, need that cell phone service to “reach out and touch” our children, grandchildren, family and friends. Myself, I am still in the list-making and planning mode…..how to prepare simple meals while boondocking, how to pack winter & summer clothes, how to keep the weight down in the camper, how to get a GOOD cup of coffee…the list is endless.
The oil is reaching its long ugly fingers closer and closer to our beautiful Panhandle beaches. With the wind blowing in from the South for the next 8 days, the outlook is not good for our little slice of paradise. Billy is on BP’s contract employee rolls and just received a telephone call regarding an upcoming “deployment.” I feel more depressed the closer the oil comes. Our seafood industry, our precious wildlife, our beautiful shoreline, our clean fresh air…it is all so sad to contemplate the outcome. Thanks for visiting and leave us a comment.
What would he be doing for BP? They need to be sucking that junk out of the water. i want my beautiful beaches to stay that way. so sad. poor animals and all the yummy seafood...
ReplyDeleteGood luck working out all the communication issues. I would need those too...well not the tv so much but definitely the internet and phone
He has contracted with BP to use his boat and "expertise" for the clean up. We are flying by the seat of our pants on exactly what that means. A friend from Atlanta will be coming down to be his deckhand. He said I wasn't dependable!!! I get seasick. It would be very nice to make enough money to pay for the new truck. I agree Christy. They need to do "something" with that oil before it reaches the shoreline. Once it gets tangled up in our precious marshes it is impossible to remove.
