Mother Jones: Is the BP Gusher Unstoppable?

[livejournal.com profile] mshollie and I had a nice Florida vacation. We stopped in Tampa on the way down, which Hollie had never been to before. We got together with [livejournal.com profile] crystalgee and [livejournal.com profile] soundwave106 as well as my niece and her family there. We enjoyed Ybor City and the streetcars, and visited the Dali Museum in St. Petersburg.

Then to Boca Raton, visiting my dad and his new wife Marilyn. They seem very happy together. Made visits to Fort Lauderdale, where the Antique Car Museum has the motherload of pre-War Packards, and Miami Beach.

Due to Tropical Storm Faye, which we were concerned might become a hurricane, we cut our time in South Florida short. After a stop in Lake City, we spent a few days in Pensacola up in the Florida Panhandle before returning to town.
