That's just mind boggling.<br />You mentioned the recent WA one, just how large was that in comparison? I heard that was a huge one as well, but didn't get much notice because most of it floated out to sea.Mark Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04095762327802677699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-40425716189374170582010-06-05T10:48:13.087+10:002010-06-05T10:48:13.087+10:00Thanks Lynds

Obama's right to take the blame (it's a US Govt-Big Biz mess).
