Oh my gosh, this is unbelievable. I'm so sorry for all the gulf residents. Please know that my family prays for all of you each nite when we sit down to dinner.

The gulf is made up of people with such fortitude and strength. God bless every one of you.

Like if it's within the law, there's nothing whatsoever wrong with it and, um, mistakes happen?

What is WRONG with this picture!

Better not say more. :angel:
