You don't need to be the least bit political to understand that this oil thing is going to be still going on for decades after they figure out how to stop the flow. I wish everyone involved could drop politics and posturing and actually do something constructive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty good read. Much of it starts coming off as a bit of self grandstanding, but he's a college professor and we've all heard that tone before.

Let me know when you're going to be in the area and I'll try to swing out to meet up for a beer. I'll be there for a Soxtalkers wedding (Shipps). I'll be in Miami for 2 days and than Orlando for 3 days. October 10th, 11th, and part of the 12th. I think we are going to do Disneyland on the 10th and than haven't decided between Sea world (my wife took a lot of oceanography classes and absolutely loves sea world out here and marine animals in general), Universal or whatever for the 11th. We'll probably lounge on the 12th at the hotel pool. Let me know, drinks would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 So yeah, may as well note this, if anyone from NW indiana wants to catch a beer on the night of July 3rd or 4th, perhaps at the Blue Chip Casino, please get in touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Jim, if that time doesn't work. I'll also be in Miami for a week on business sometime between now and the end of August. Just found out about half an hour ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll probably lounge on the 12th at the hotel pool. Let me know, drinks would be great. October is a nice time to be here, and the crazy 8-hour lines for the Harry Potter attraction at Universal will have died down by then. That is also right around when the EPCOT Food and Wine festival is held, which is fun but can get pricey. We have the resident Disney and Universal passes though, so a couple of rounds of drinks in the British pub at EPCOT or Universal always make for a good time. Don't alter your travel plans for it, but if you are driving up I-95 from Miami you'll be in striking distance of Fort Pierce and the oceanographic institute I work at. Given your wife's interest in marine science I'd be happy to give you a behind the scenes look at our digs, including our research submersibles, fish hatcheries, dolphin rehab center, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milkman delivers Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 I got home about 25 minutes ago, and I've eaten 6 freeze pops. The humidity today was awful. I think I'm going back for 7 and 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad they didnt try to pin a scapegoat on him. Yeah, they had an issue with him going thru the smoke, but control told him to do that and he was following orders. Then they had an issue with him going thru the fire, but honestly him doing that (even if they think he shouldn't have) got the passengers to the platform faster so they could get the hell out of there, he said he had no regrets about doing that.

Flash Tizzle Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 (edited) If I was suave enough to pick up random women at a grocery store I'd never leave Trader Joe's. Both times I've been there the place was overrun with attractive (young and old) women. I advise everyone to take advantage of this before Milkman gets wind, starts creeping around, and ruins it for everybody. All I can say is, the man......has sexual demons.
