And how did they do with that "ensure that we work together" job to prepare for protect against respond to recover from mitigate all hazards in Katrina? -- Don Kirkman donsno2(a)charter.net

Here, go educate yourself: > > http://tiny.cc/p6fv5 According to the article the lower section of the floating plumes contain very low concentration of oil making it less likely for the oil to sweep the gulf floor. The article does not address whether this is more serious than oil in the marshes. We know that Obama waited a month to approve assistance to the marsh areas.

We have three AT&T renewals coming up in August. My wife will probably get one, as will my daughter. As for me, I'm probably going to stand pat with my Nokia smartphone. It tethers, handles calls very well, has a long battery, very bright screen, good camera, and it's suitable for e-mail and texting. I just don't need the fluff that I-Phones offer. Furthermore...it's tough as nails. I've dropped it twice in my driveway. No damage. I am intrigued with the I-Pad and may consider it when a 2nd generation comes out. It would come in handy on my boat or RV....just to quickly grab it, use a map or chart, go on-line, or download books. That's much easier than firing up a laptop, especially in close quarters. Have you looked at one for your own purposes?? -Greg
