Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves?
Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here?
Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?

Are you sure you're not hurt ?
No. Just some parts wake up faster than others.
Broke parts take a little longer, though.

I get the impression that nobody really cares about environmental catastrophes anymore. we have become desensitized to it
Children in the back seat can cause accidents - and vice versa.
No one cares and yet they are expected to be fixed. Most the time it is the environments fault for being in the way of progress...Originally posted by imaplanner
Yep that will happen sometimes...

Hey, if anybody goes out to look, I need a fender for mo son's Honda.
Most domestically sold Honda autos are made in Ohio. Bear Up North, being King of Distribution, and not far from the Honda epicenter, may be able to help, besides you don't want a fender after its spent some time brine-ing anyways!Hey, if anybody goes out to look, I need a fender for mo son's Honda.

The Japanese will clean it up just like BP cleaned up the Gulf! After all they are responsible, no?

And it’s not only physical debris that is being washed ashore…

Not funny.
Read something about how container ships already do the same thing. Thousands of containers are lost every year along shipping lanes. These containers essentially function as islands that allow species to leapfrog to places in the ocean where they otherwise couldn't get to. Like a species in temperate waters follows a trail of containers to bridge the equatorial waters where they couldn't survive.invasive marine organisms - the Disaster after a Disaster.
Is there anything that can be done to prevent the mess from hitting land?

As I titled this thread - creeping mess. Don't yet know the total damages yet.Biologists fear that foreign species that arrive on our shores — crabs, barnacles, starfish, snails and plants — could establish a foothold and crowd out native creatures and plants.
A 2005 Cornell University report put the damage cost of invasive aquatic species at more than $6.6 billion a year,
