h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Some kind person has recommended that i go to the ask form and request information on links to the oil pollution in the Mississipi delta. I wonder if this is the way to do it. For the life of me I cannot remember how it is done. !!

Hello Christiane

Here's the BBC News page with all the BP oil spill stories:

Good morning Christiane,

If you would rather speak to a Researcher who is right in the middle (geographically, he lives in Key West) then his journal link is here: F7226777?thread=7480218

That poor soul is going to have a tale of woe as the oil reaches his beaches.

Dear Happy Nerd,

Thank you so much. sadly, at my age, my mind sometimes becomes a total blank. Thank you for filling that particular blank and being so patient with me.

With affection

Christiane

Hi Paul,

Well was it his fault.?

that is what I was hearing about today. There are lots of those pipes at the bottom of the ocean.

That is dreadful.

Go well,

Christiane

No, it wasn't his fault, Christiane. There are millions of people who have made the Gulf Coast their home. Through no fault of their own, this oil spill is happening. Some of my friends and neighbors here in the Boston area would be mortified if oil came up on our local beaches.

Some of the world's best seafood restaurants are located in this area, and they feature locally caught fish. Throw oil into Massachusetts Bay, and this cuisinary institution of such long standing would get decimated. That is what is happening from New Orleans to the Florida coast.

Hi Paul.

I was also thinking of the dreadful hurricane which hit New Orleans a few years back.

Thanks for your reply. "cuisinary" is a new word to me.! i thought it was "culinary"!! Or am I wrong again, like mistaking bidens for coreopsis?

I think I should change our gardening/agricultural postings to something else. !! I am going way off the point. !

Are you going to do something nice this weekend - like going for a super walk? I wish I could !!

Christiane.

I was trying to think of "culinary," but "cuisinary" was all that came to mind. It's hot. That's my excuse, and I'm sticking with it.
