Quite scary looking

What's sad is now they are saying that the oil has been caught up in the gulf current and is being carried to the Florida Keys. So much for pristine beaches there.

If any of you tell my wife you saw me out fishing (when I should have been home cutting the grass), I will hunt you down and throw eggs at your front door.

Unless of course she knew I was going fishing and arranged for the satellite to search for me over the Gulf.

boy, I think i'm in big trouble

Just scary how bad it use to be and what it's like now.
