200,000 Gallons A Day

I know that he's in Chicago. My point was that he should have been in DC to participate in some of the events going on there, or at least been there for a wreath laying ceremony. There are so many memorials in the DC area that honor the fallen, it's really a shame that our obviously healthy and vigorous president saw fit not to be there at any of them.

It's poured down rain for most of the day, so they weren't even able to hold the memorial service this morning down at Lincoln Cemetery. The President returned to Chicago by helicopter (thank goodness - no traffic snarls if he goes up and over it) because the First Fam is scheduled to fly back to Washington this afternoon. On the noon news they said the service will still be held today if the weather breaks.

One more question about the oil. If they can sand bag river banks to keep water from overflowing, would it be possible to somehow sand bag the shores to keep the oil from getting up onto the beach? I saw on the news that they were trying to capture some of the birds and release them into oil-free water in Florida.

Indy got your weather this early evening. Lightening, t-storms & lots
of rain.

I think they are ready to try about anything to keep the oil away.
