From my dear friend Sally Henny Penny, this Bill Day cartoon speaks barrels of longing:
And a reminder of the number of rigs in the Gulf:
I find myself wondering lately whether it is better to keep recalling the sorrow of the spill or to do my best to think about it less frequently. I sometimes feel guilty for having briefly forgotten it; the folks who live along the Gulf don't have that luxury. On the other hand, do I run the risk of so depressing myself with the news these days that, like my friend Capt. Fogg who lives in Florida, I consider sailing away from this troubled country?
Will I be of the most use when I force myself to keep the Gulf in view? And, if I can't go there to clean the beaches and volunteer right now, how can I be of use?

How do you answer these questions for yourself?
Very impressive (depressive?) off-shore oil site map. The fact that I had no idea of the extent of these wells reminds me that I need to pay more attention to those who are 'serving' me. 'Great wake up America post.
