Yes Hoop - please keep posting !

Site members who remember the Broadwater matter will remember how nuts these things make me. I never believed that the Broadwater facility would or could ever blow up, but with the LNG explosion this spring and now this, I feel reminded that worst case situations can and do happen and the public underwrites the risks.

My heart is breaking for the people and the ecosystem in the gulf.

All we can do now is learn, more regulation . . . less regulation . . . its all bull$hit. Unless WE THE PEOPLE accept that our addicion to cheep petroleum forces us into these silly risks and expenditures we will not be able to avoid them.

If this is a situation makes you angry . . . use less pertoleum !

BP CEO just announced on CNN. They pummed in drilling mud all day yesterday and last night they did the "junk shot" to try to clog up the blow out preventer. It was not clear how well it worked. But he said "most of what we see flowing now on the video is drilling mud"

I hope that is true.

More drilling mud will be pumped in again today.

Keep you fingers crossed ! ! ! !

A quick hellow.

I am on a 4 on and 4 off under contract with BP. I will be off tomoprrow but will be taking out a journalist from Japan. There is a lot going on here from day to day. I was interviewed by many publications from around the world about the attempt to top fill the leak. They said 60-70%. I knew that was as political a statement as the sham Obama tried to pull off in Grand Isle. The most sucessfull one like that was at 670 feet and 7 attempts at doing this in much shallower waters have failed. For some reason they thought we would believe them.

Wil try toupdate tomoorrow.

Fishing is not a matter of life or death. It's more important than that.

Thanks Hoop, keep the updates coming.
