    Although it is nice to hear that BP et. al. is cleaning up the visible oil that has reached shore, what if anything have they done to remove the huge amounts of oil that have accumulated on the floor of the Gulf? Do they even have plans to remove their mess?

    Oh, my! And with all the risks associated with ownership of beach front property, Rose writes: “The clean-up project began last month on Perdido Key at the Alabama-Florida line, and crews with sifting machines large and small are spreading out to the east and west. On a sunny day in mid-November, ground zero is the wide stretch of sand between the Gulf’s crystal water and the Silver Beach condos in Orange Beach.

    That’s where Sue Rose has her ground-floor unit, and she was happy to see heavy machinery loading sand into a boxlike sifter just outside her door. The machine strains tons of dirty sand at a time through fine screens, and trucks then dump the cleaned sand back on to the beach. The refuse is taken to landfills.

    “It’s wonderful,” said Rose, of Erlanger, Kentucky. “Hopefully we’re going to get our clean beach back.”
    So, Rose wants her beach back.
    That sort of statement cost Tony Haywood his job (I want my life back).
    It’s too cold to swim there anyway, so you will not be using the beach for at least 7 months.
    “I want my dividends back”. Screw the sand, Mother Nature will take care of that and BP will continue to provide you with gasoline to fuel your car to drive to the beach. How much did you collect on your loss of use claim, Rose?
