An Update on the Gulf Oil Spill: Mississippi Fisherman and Louisiana Restaurant Owners Tell Us How They are Doing After the Spill

This weekend, I found myself thinking about the folks in the middle of the Gulf Oil Spill.  I wondered if they were getting back on their feet and how BP was helping in that effort.  This is what I found...

Obviously these videos are geared toward making BP look good, but are these folks lying about how pleased they are with the support they have received from BP?  I doubt they are lying, but I have to wonder if the majority of folks who had their livelihoods affected are happy with the way BP has handled getting them back to work.

You may have noticed that I have not posted a lot about the Gulf Coast Oil Spill.  As you may know, I live in Florida and vacation every year on the West Coast of Florida where the water is crystal clear and the sea life is a part of each of our beach adventures.  I have not been able to write too much about what has been going on in the Gulf as I get literally sick to my stomach when I try to.  My girls will be doing a lemonade stand today or tomorrow and taking the profit to give to help with the clean-up and now I am ready to tell you about an easy way for us all to help.
