Bill is probably out on the beaches defending the coastline against invading oil.
We did go out to the beach Saturday afternoon to get a look. The current prediction is landfall sometime
Wed or Thurs. We can't protect the beaches, priority is trying to keep the oil slick - millions of gallons - out of bays, estuaries and wetlands. When the waves are over 2 feet, the booms are ineffective. All weekend they were over 5 feet.
This will be a nightmare for a long time, many jobs lost in a region still recovering from Ivan, Katrina, Rita and Ike.
Buy some Gulf shrimp now, it'll come from ponds in Thailand soon.
