I am now another year older, deeper in debt and continue to monitor what could be one of the worst disasters ever in our Gulf of Mexico. BP has caused a doomsday scenario with it's pursuit of profits in lieu of safety precautions that surely will keep many lawyers quite busy for the next ten or more years. Just having glanced at our local News-Press this morning after turning 62 yesterday (whew), and some conservative estimates of a $2.2 Billion loss if we even have a 10% reduction in tourism makes for gloom here in Lee County. Perusing the USA Today and reading best and worst case scenarios is sure to start thinking it is going to be a long, hot summer. With alot the global and national news directing toward death , destruction, anger, poverty, terrorism, and distrust, I think we may need a visit from an extraterrestial savior to buoy our spirits or at least take the oil in the Gulf to the galaxy dump out there.
