An Oily Day in OB...

On arrival last night we learned the Pass and all surrounding waters had been closed to recreational boaters.  As much as I don't like it, a good decision to keep us gawkers away. 

This morning we saw the oil firsthand at the beach.  It got worse during the day.  As this moves eastward past Pensacola to Destin more will be impacted and more will become vocal.   This is a bad blow to the economy here.  It has officially impacted me.  Mike at Sam's didn't want any pies until business picks up.  It will be a while.

We took Miss Elisa out to Perdido Bay and Tarkin Bay.  Ran into our friends Wayne & Brian.  Later we went swimming over by Barber's Marina.

Brandy, Karen' Golden Retriever,  has taken a turn for the worse this weekend.  She can't get up by herself anymore.  At 16 years she has had a good life.  We put people in a nursing home, nowhere for dogs to go.  Karen is devastated with this development.
