Posted Oil signs.

They are still cleaning the beaches of the oil,  down here on the Alabama Gulf.  We have seen quite a few workers with bright yellow or orange jackets, with tools in their hands picking up tar balls. They also have marked off areas that they have been with red flags.  We also see parking areas that they have set up to have as a command station. They have their ATVs,  Ditch Witch, Porta-Potty, and other equipment in that area. I'm sure they aren't as abundant as it first was, but they still are evident.
When you look out into the Gulf, you can see many oil rigs.  It is so sad to see those.  By the BP commercials down here, things are looking up. But by the news reports, businesses are still suffering and are not getting paid by BP. It's a long process, I'm sure. 
This is a slow time of year down here, but we still see people on the beach having fun and fisherpeople fishing. So, we are down here, trying to help the economy by eating! Oh, yeah and Vel bought a t-shirt.-M
