News from the oil front. Well it seems that the beach health advisory has been lifted, but it hasn't? According to the Escambia County website, all beach advisories have been lifted as of 6/28/10. According to the Pensacola News Journal and Health Department health advisories are in place for Pensacola Beach. WTF? Is anyone in charge here?

In other news, according to the local Mullet Wrapper:

Pensacola Beach is seeing a higher coverage of tar balls and tar patties today.

Great.

Also apparently Vice President "smart-ass" will be visiting our slice-o-heaven tomorrow for a photo-op situation-report of the cleanup operations. If this goes as well as the President's visit we can look forward to an entire day of road closures and loss of business. I wish these guys would go try to "help" someone else. It's mass chaos every time one of these no-load apparatchiks comes to town.

Now everyone is asking about the potential effects of TS Alex on the oil leak. Some say it will be the apocolypse, others think it will help to dissipate the oil. I don't think anyone knows beyond a SWAG whatinthehell it will do. I guess we're about to find out.



My resolve remains unshaken. I have adopted a new mantra today from of all people, Monsieur Bonaparte: “Circumstances - what are circumstances? I make circumstances.”

No victim status here, boss. I have some sneaky ideas in the works which I think will help me offset some of my lost revenue. Story at 11:00.
