Took my 13 yr old daughter and her friend canoeing and kayaking today
on the Wacissa River here in N. FL. Pretty clear and cold spring water, just what we need on a hot Memorial Day. However, as usual, the hydrilla weeds were in abundance. Daughter looked at it and had an idea. She suggested harvesting it, drying it and then using it to soak up the oil spill. Then she had another idea, to use the algae that is infesting all of our springs from fertilizer run-off for the same purpose., Harvest it, dry oit to kill it and then drop it on the oil spill. Then use the unemployed fisherment with their nets to scoop it up when it is saturated with oil, squeeze the oil out and re-use. |

Sounds like your daughter is a heck of a lot smarter than her father. |

Do you fry 'em, poach 'em or grill 'em? |

How about shrimp? |

My three year old Maine coon cat told us he thought we should gather up all the world's grass clippings, dry them out, and mix them in with the oil in the Gulf. So, is my cat as smart as your kid...or vice versa? -- The Tea Party's teabaggers are just the Republican base by another name. |

Up here the media made a big deal out of barber shops collecting hair clippings , putting them in pantyhose type material and shipping the end product down south to be used in collecting the oil. Maybe Froggy can get a patent on that. |
