I hear bells...
Tomorrow im going to a wedding!! (technically the wedding is on saturday which incidentally is my b-day) Our close family friend, Missy's daughter Megan is marring matt. they make such a cute couple!! any who, the wedding is on a cruise ship in cape canaveral, florida. im a bridesmaid! the dresses are pretty in pink, a soft tropical color, great for summer in florida. we are gonna leave in the wee hours of the morning, hoping to get to ble springs. blue springs is this beautiful clear water river that you snorkel up. once you get up to the source of the river you swim over the mouth of blue spring,a 20 foot wide hole that goes over 200 ft down into the ground. weirdest feeling in the world, but awesome! and you can even swim in the winter because the water is 72 degrees all year round.

The Raptor Center
Ok so yall know i work (volunteer)at the carolina raptor center, rite? I went out on sunday and fed the diurnals(birds that hunt during the day)and first i went to a little kestrel name cinnamon's cage. She is really old for such a little bird, and you'd thunk she'd act her age. BUT NO! She is hyper and hormonal so when i lean over to pick up a bit of food leftover from yesterday, she flies up and lands ON MY HEAD! (thank goodness she has teensy lill' old claws)So she didnt hurt me. Then we went to feed the vultures and morroco is a real ankle-biter- literally. So he bit my leg then scrached me with those nasty talons. Geez. What a day. :P

ITS DONE!!! They did it! we now have a capped oil well. The only thing is that there is so much oil n the surface on the water. So now im just gonna tell yall about the effect of the left over oil. btw, did u know that dawn is savin the gulf, one fuzzy at a time? Everytime someone buys a bottle of dawn (the ones with the penguin or the seal on it) they donate a dollar to the oil clean up? Also, dawn is pretty much the only detergent that cuts through grease, yet is soft enough to use on the animals. They are cleaning up all kinds of animals like birds. WOOHOO! go dawn. also good job to the wonderfull cleanup crews, the ones scooping up oily sand and catchin animals. And remember the spill is over but the clean up isnt.
Plz keep cumin back i will update an i will luv u forevar if u coment or follow this blog!!

The Oil Spill
Here goes. Everybodys heard about about the oil spill, right? well heres the first in a series of posts containing un-biased (ok maybe a bit biased) information and updates. will post weekly. maybe.
Well, according to NPR (a good radio station) the oil has officially entered the food chain!!! Oil particles were found underneath layers of skin and the shells of tiny crabs. No big deal, right? WRONG!! The fish eat the tiny crabs, and we eat the fish(oversimplification). Also, i have heard from sources unmentioned that thier may be a cap on the oil vent by tomorrow. This may solve our problems. But they also have the issue of the oil already spilled. The exxon valdiese spill was a horrible accident in the atlantic, the worlds worst spill ever. Now this vent is spilling that amount of oil every 4DAYS.
>If the cap is put on, how will we deal with what has already spilled?<
