    Good one, G-Man! But methinks we'll never really know all that story. Now we have our own oil spill over towards Kalamazoo. Ain't that the pits? Hopefully they can keep it out of the lake (along with those nasty Asian Carp!). Mine is up.
    Happy weekend to you.

    Love it G-Man. Seriously though, I just heard on a news program that there was no leak, initially, as BP was working to extinguish the fire. Apparently the Coast Guard decided to use high pressure water spray to assist (when their code states they are not to assist in oil rig fires as they are not qualified to do so) The weight of the water caused the rig to topple over and subsequently caused the spill. Don't know if it's true or not. At this point it really doesn't matter. I just thought it interesting and curious.

    Anyway,
    here is my 55

    The truth always makes it self known. Interesting -- some news journalist maybe cruising the web and pickup this tidbit.

    Maybe next week I will try this 55er- hard for me to say anything in 55 words or less.

    Yesterday,
    I took a wrong turn
    and ended up on a cliff;
    Today,
    I plan my path before I start,
    I want to be smart
    and accomplish things with firm belief.
    Tomorrow,
    I’ll bury all of the sorrows
    and let go of errors,
    I’ll know when to stop
    and orchestra my way to the top.

    this is my 55,
    thanks for reading it...
