Texas City, Texas - Tar balls from the Gulf oil spill found on a Texas beach were confirmed Monday as the first evidence that gushing crude from from the Deepwater Horizon well has reached all the Gulf states. Only about five gallons were found all together.
It still provoked the quick dispatch of cleaning crews and a vow that BP will pay for the trouble."Any Texas shores impacted by the deepwater spill will be cleaned up quickly and BP will be picking up the tab,"Texas Land Commissiner Jerry Patterson said in a news release. The oil arrival in Texas was predicted Friday by an analysis from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which gave 40% chance of crude reaching the area.
Capt. Marcus Woodring, Coast Guard Commander, said the consistency of the tar balls indicates it's possible they could have been spread to Texas water by ships that have worked out in the spill. "This would be good news," he said. "The water still looks good. We've cautiosly optimistic this is an anomaly.
The distance between the western reach of the tar balls in Texas and the most eastern reports of oil in Florida is about 550 miles. Oil was first spoted on land near the mouth of the Mississippi River on April 29. The spill is reaching deeper into Louisiana. Strings of oil were seen Monday in the Rigolets, one of two waterways that connect the Gulf with Lake Pontchartrain, the large lake north of New Orleans. "So far it's scattered stuff showing up, mostly tar balls, It will pull out with the tide , then show back up," said Louisiana Office of Fisheries Assistant Secretary Randy Pausina.
Pausina said he expected the oil to clear the passes and move directly into the lake, taking a back-door route to New Orleans. The news of the spill's reach comes at a time when most of the offshore skimming operations in the Gulf have been halted by choppy seas and high winds. A tropical system that had been lingering off Louisiana flared up Monday afternoon, bringing heavy rain and winds. Forcasters at the National Hurrican Center said there was a 60% of the strom becoming a tropical cyclone.
My spin: This spill is going to get much worse before it gets better...folks we are in this for the long haul and our way of life is no more..
Kicking back keeping it real....Hope for the time I can report something good about the oil spill really soon.
Hi sweetie...I sent you an e-mail so you could have a good laugh..PIC
ReplyDeleteGood afternoon cutie...how is everyone on your end, I know Nana is not behaving, if she was she wouldn't be the Nana we know and love.
ReplyDeleteBrian is in good spirits and making you laugh, ain't it grand to have a lover like the 'ROCK?'
Went to work today and they had 2 new women and lordy they are kookie and you will be surprise to know what one asked me and when I told her , I gave her the sweetest smile and his secertary just looked at me and grined.
I'll go check right now.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, I saw...HA!
ReplyDeleteNana was a bitch today. Brian is okay.
Were you causing trouble again at GL's office.
His secretary sounds like she is on the ball though.Sounds like she is one of us.
ReplyDeleteHold on a second luv. Brian is calling me....WTF?
ReplyDeleteNo..They hired 2 new women and one told me I couldn'r just walk in in office I had to go to his secertary and a everyone was looking to see what I was going to say and I told her when you are fucking the boss you can do what you damn well please.
ReplyDeleteIs Brian okay ???
ReplyDeleteHe wanted to show me something. It was very funny.
ReplyDeleteSo how was your day at the office? Were you on your best behavior.
YOU SAID THAT TO AN EMPLOYEE??I would have loved to see her face.
ReplyDeleteWhat did she say to you after that?
ReplyDeleteShe just looked at me and asked one of the employees who I was and they told her I was her boss and I had the last say in who stays and who goes.
ReplyDeleteI told the secretary i couldn't hire or fire and she said leave her along she had to go pee.
You have to be careful when you don't know ..
ReplyDeleteBoy,I'm glad he just had something funny to show you, my mind went everywhere.
You just loved putting her in her place, eh? Now the poor little thing will tremble when she sees you coming.
ReplyDeleteThe prison in the UK looks like a holiday resort, boy it's beautiful I bet the prisoners don't want to leave.
ReplyDeleteThe news was so boring, I put Billy the exterminator on...HA!
ReplyDeleteHell she just started work this week only 3 days on the job, shit just leave me along .
ReplyDeleteWhat you think about my e-mail.
That prison is ridiculous. They'll let them out and they'll be banging on the door, begging to come back in.
ReplyDeleteI got him too I'm so tired of hearing the same thing and everyone is blaming the other.
ReplyDeleteBilly is about 50/60 miles from me, he do a lot of work in my area.
ReplyDeleteSome astronomer guy put a snooty remark on my Big Bang post.He has remarked before.
ReplyDeleteI will do another one about the asteroid project and maybe Rusty will leave me a comment.
I agree with you on all points of your email.I'm going to send you one.
ReplyDeleteI seen it and I think he's a little jealous...everyone know and talk about it.
ReplyDeleteDid you just hear Billy's mama told him to come over to Shreveport going to see if I know where it is.
Hell I live in South Shreveport too.
I think he was checking out some squirrels. The one before was thousands of wasps in an attic.
ReplyDeletePeople will never agree how the world begun and I try to keep an open mind because scientists don't agree.
ReplyDeleteGot it and return one to you.
Most scientists love to share what they know.They are teachers at heart and they get very excited about their area of science.
ReplyDeleteBut, once in a while,you get a snobby know it all.I don't think they are scientists, just people who think they know it all.
Billy do a great business here and abouts.
ReplyDeleteWith this new telescope they will know the answers very soon.It's a bit scary.
ReplyDeleteGoing to check.
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean, I had some different ideas about the earth and surrounding areas but since meeting you, I start to look at things in a different light...I learn I had to expand my mind and look at others point of view.
ReplyDeleteWho's to say who is wrong...not I ??
Well I on it right now...
ReplyDeleteSweetie ...I see Lina was able to comment on SH's , shit I wish she would let us know more about the flowers and do she have an idea who he is...I love a mystery.
It's a slow news night but I will dig up something from another country's news service.
ReplyDeleteHow do you think Lohan will do in prison??
Lina girl are you out there...no fair you are holding out ...so give girl...
ReplyDeleteHi gals...whew what a long day, seriously...
ReplyDeleteEarthquakes and flowers, never boring I tell ya
How are YOU two doing tonight?
Lina
Got in a itty bitty trouble at work but it is alright now
Billy is doing great guns. There seems to be more pests in your part of the world....HA!
ReplyDeleteMy boss got a little mad about the giant bouquet of flowers that came today while I was at lunch. It took up too much room.
ReplyDeleteYeah. Try lugging them home lady
LOL
Lina
Lohan will not do good, the women is going to get her choochie oh, I forgot...she used to getting drunk/drugs and it free to the general public.
ReplyDeleteI will do one on Al/Tipper Gore, I won't get it til morning...Abe says Tipper is mad as a wet hen about what being said about Al and she's going to set the record straight about their divorce.
Hi Lina...bosses shouldn't mind when the employess get flowers/gifts...maybe she's a little jealous HUH???
ReplyDeleteHave you seen DC lately??? I heard he was in Miami checking up on his store/condo...but he can still send flowers from anywhere.
ReplyDeleteWell at least he will let you know who he is.
Well she probably is since her husband doesn't do that for her. But to be fair it was like $300 worth of flowers which is crazy. I don't know anyone who would spend that much on flowers...
ReplyDeleteEspecially since they die after awhile
Lina
I would like to know the true Gore story. Personally, I think they bored each other to death and simply ran out of things to say to each other.
ReplyDeleteI will certainly never run out of things to say to the Rock, even if he doesn't listen most of the time.
Getting in trouble is nothing new for me when I help out at the office...my man says I should use a little more tact, but he loves me the way I am, outspoken and sometime rude and can hold my own. He should know I tell his ass of all the time.
ReplyDeleteI thought I saw him today CC but I was pretty busy at work and I just looked up once from the counter and got a brief glimpse so I could be wrong about that.
ReplyDeleteI did see Procter walking down the street though.
Lina
I think that's what it's all about, they grew apart...why are they just now saying he screwed around don't make sense, I think they still love each other. But like you say on Jen's post anything to seel a rag mag.
ReplyDeleteIf anyone got a divorce I would have thought it be Bill and Hillary, not Al and Tipper. They seemed happy, unless all that story about the massage women is true
ReplyDeleteLina
He was attracted to you openess and honesty (among other things)I don't think he wants you to change.
ReplyDeleteWell you can't miss with flowers/candy. honey with his money $300. don't make a sound in the bucket.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind you being rude to me; I'll just be rude right back a'cha.
ReplyDeleteWe have our own kind of fun.
Lina, how do you think Lohan will do in prison? Break down?
PIC...girl you slay me, he was chasing me all over the place and when I let him have some of the choochie hell I couldn't get rid of him... Shit the Rock and Gil know when they got it good.
ReplyDeleteBut you know me what come up come out.
Jeannie
ReplyDeleteLohan wont be able to cut it in jail, even if she only spends the minimal amount of time in there. But I did hear today that while she is in jail, she is allowed to take 5 prescription drugs that she is on.
5 Prescriptions? At her age? Sad
Lina
Check SK's tomorrow , hope to have the words right out of Tipper's mouth.
ReplyDeleteAbe's stuff come in late.
Lina...Jeannie told me to double check everything to be sure and she's right, I have seen so muc in the mags and glad I didn't post it and waited on Tipper.
There are alot of rumors flying around, between Lohan and of course, good old Mel, although since his ex actually got it on tape, it is hard for him to deny stuff.
ReplyDeleteHollyweird seems to be getting crazy again
Bill and Hillary have a purely business arrangement.
ReplyDeleteI can't even imagine him having sex with her.I think she has told him to get his jollies elsewhere but be very discreet and don't jeopardize her career like he blew his.
5 prescription drugs?? That's exactly what they should use this time to ween her from.
ReplyDeleteHillary always had her eye on politics and as long as she had Bill she knew she would make it, Just look where she is now..
ReplyDeleteWhy did the woman wait 2 years to come out her hole?? And now they are trying to say Al is going with his friend's wife...WTF !!
People like this massage woman who is making claims against Al...all they want is to be famous. Don't know why, bleh!
ReplyDeleteLina
Al is probably seeing someone. Public figures have no problem finding willing partners.
ReplyDeleteYou got that right on spot PIC...
ReplyDeleteIf Lohan go back to the people and life she was living she will never get her life together.
When you are tring to get off drugs you can't hang with the same crowd...just look at Whitney...sad.
Well, if he's seeing someone they should print the truth.
ReplyDeleteLina...there are a lot of women/men that are groupies, they have very sad and empty lives, it's sad to fool yourself and live in a fantasy world.
It is sad when these women need to live out fantasies based on some celebrity or public figure.
ReplyDeleteBut seems to happen alot or maybe it's just because I live near Hollyweird and see it alot
Lina
Shit...Mad Mel will just but the police force and a couple of high place judges like he built his own church to Marry Oksana and he got her a record contract and she was finish with the drunk.
ReplyDeleteA lot of people don't care about the truth. They just like sensational rumors.
ReplyDeleteCrazy gossip is kind of addictiv.
Addictive, that is.
ReplyDeleteTrue enough. That's probably why doctor and dentist's offices always carry these tabloids.
ReplyDeletePeople read them. They would pick up a Star or Globe for example then a National Geographic
Lina
The movie industry is moving down here quite fast and they are making quite a few movie with A-List actors/actress. They have just finish a huge sound stage.
ReplyDeleteMel lives in a world of his own making, with his own laws.He is one of the celebs who have that sense of entitlement. They think they think they are not subject to the rules and judicial system of the ordinary guy.
ReplyDeleteNow, now,I get the NAT.GEO. every month...we have a pilot office of the Star and Globe here , maybe you seen us talking about them
ReplyDeleteYou have to admit, your celebs in America are treated with special care by your legal system .They even get away with murder.
ReplyDeleteI just don't really understand why people want fame really. It seems to always go sour-drugs, alcohol, sex addictions, etc
ReplyDeleteLina
I never want to make up rules as I go along...it's no fun not to get others ideas.
ReplyDeleteJeannie that's why I rant to you and Sis , when Sis tell me to put a sock in it, that's when I come to you and you try to make me see reason and then you tell me to shut my pie-hole...I love it...
You can tell a person care for you, they tell you like it is...I'm a lucky girl.
Boy you can tell I'm tired tonight. A lot of typing errors. Sorry folks.
ReplyDeleteThe heat up here is oppressive and a bit debilitating. We're really not used to it. And the humidity makes you feel like you're drowning. I don't know how you guys can breathe down there.
If this is Global Warming, I sure don't like it. Too bad we have nowhere else to go.
ReplyDeleteDo you see my comments posting?
ReplyDeleteI can't see yours right now
Lina
Lina...there are a lot of people in the limelight and lives with it quite well..you just don't see anyting about them because they keep their dirty linen put away.
ReplyDeleteI met Kevin Costner, Josh Bolin and miss Sandra bullock about 30 minutes...I met Tea Leoni and her crazy husband David...now that's some trailer trash. I met a lot of them whe I lived in L.A. a long time ago.
The live feed from the ROV was shut down for 24 hrs. They must do that when they don't want us to see something. It's up now. That old pipe is spewing as badly as ever.
ReplyDeleteYour post said that the oil is heading for the big lake near New Orleans. That will be disastrous.
Yes I can see you and can you see us???
ReplyDeleteA lot of people says they turns it off and it's much worse than we see because the oil is mostly under water.
ReplyDeleteIt's going to get much worse before it get better.
I know you need some rest you are very busy with Nana and all the other stuff you have to do.
ReplyDeleteDid my twins go to karate today and did you get your lesson.
I suppose I am looking at it the wrong way CC, there are some decent hollywood folks with good marriages and happy lives.
ReplyDeleteLina
ok I see you again, phew...
ReplyDeleteLina
People are attracted to the rich and famous. I don't really understand it.I like my anonymity. It gives me a great deal of freedom to do anything I want, go anywhere I want; and I don't have to have a body guard.
ReplyDeleteDad says he just sent you some mail about what recipes he wants next...that old man is a pain, I told him Brian was going to whip his musty butt...hahaha
ReplyDeleteThey had karate yesterday and go tomorrow.I still get lessons.
ReplyDeleteWe managed to put Dale off until next week.The family wants to use the boat this weekend so we had an excuse.
I try to keep as much as my annoymity as I can. It's sad when you lose a lot of your freedom.
ReplyDeleteNan says if I come up there I would be free as a bird and get to spread my wings.
It's 1:00 AM here so I will say goodnight ladies and sleep well. Have a nice tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI will try to find an interesting post. See you around the old blog;I'll be the lady who is sweating profusely and cursing climate change....Luv...PIC
Maybe Jaye's author friend will come down the week after that so they can work on their book together that will be two weekends.
ReplyDeleteNite Nite Jeannie!
ReplyDeletehope you get some rest
I have to work tomorrow for my nutty boss so we'll see what that day brings!
It's always fun talking to you gals!
Lina
Lina...Jeannie's daughter is an author...she was editor in chief of a newspaper.
ReplyDeletePIC...Did you get Dad's mail.
ReplyDeleteOh really?
ReplyDeletethat is awesome Jeannie! You must be very proud of her
Lina
Honey, I don't think you know how to be anonymous. You will always attract attention, especially now the whole world knows you don't wear panties too often. Look what happened to Miley.
ReplyDeleteI'll go check PIC.
ReplyDeleteIt's been good sweetie and see you on FTBB bad after the sun sets.
ReplyDeleteSweetie dreams and may all your dreams come true have a peaceful and restful night.
GOODNITE....HUGS & KISSES...PIC
