Louisiana oil spill

If current estimates for the Deepwater Horizon oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico are correct, the massive spill could eventually dwarf that of Exxon Valdez spill of 1989 — previously the largest in U.S. history — by as much as three times. At a rate of 5,000 barrels a day, for an estimated 90 days, well over 20 million gallons of crude could be pumped out onto the Louisiana coastline.

Scary Indeed

Just the thought of being in the icy waters of the Hudson River in the winter is enough to make one’s skin crawl. US Airways Jet Crashes Into Hudson River off New York City [ABC News]. But looking at photos and video of today’s aircraft floating in the river is scary, very scary indeed.

I am just testing the linking between my Flickr and Facebook accounts. I still love this shot, taken in late Summer 1976 in Boston (obviously).

Played golf just after the morning rain subsided at Stonewall Golf Club in Manassas. Gorgeous course, challenging terrain. The rough was long, wet and almost impossible. And these herons kept a close watch on things all afternoon.

This post has nothing to do with Apple’s 3G iPhone, or EON in Ontario, which ran the article. I just like the photo (and the model)!
