A Call for Help and a Call to Action

Hello, my name is Bruton Gastor. I am here on behalf of not just the Florida Gulf coast, but for the entire state. The BP oil crisis has now touched the place that we all hoped would never be spoiled-the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida. What was once an unspoiled water habitat for many water fowl species has now become marred because what has happened in the Gulf. Here is our lovely model showing us the unspoiled water of our resorts before the "Crude Crisis."
The behavior of our local wildlife has also been changed...and not for the better. Here is a bird that is foraging for food on the sand and not in the water like it should. Here is a squirrel that is obviously having some problems of some sort. I am not entirely certain what has caused this strange behavior, but I am willingly to lay blame at the feet of the BP oil conglomerate.
Here is a view of the direct effects of the oil on our beautiful shores. Not a pretty sight.Help us return our man-made waterways and recreational resort areas to their former glory. Thank you for your time and considerations. Donations can be made to the Tupua Disney Fund which will go directly to help fund future trips to help fund cleanups that may or may not take place. Help us preserve the Disney World we all know and love for our children and grandchildren.
(The preceding was a faux advertisement for the Tupua Disney vacation club. Which in no wise is connected to the Walt Disney World corporation. Also, this is not an actual solicitation for monetary donations. This was simply a satire on the state of the Gulf Coast. Thank you for reading. I hope that you had as much fun reading this as we did making it up.)

Grandma Ella and Grandpa David return to Pensacola, Palatka, and Orlando

Grandma and Grandpa are not just going to walk in here and say, "Here we are!!!" Okay, so they flew in, and we kneww in advance that they were coming. But anywho...my time may be limited as my computer is unreliable as of late. I'm running out of time!!! Just kidding. I have not been able to get on to Blogger, but today, I was able to get on here. So here goes my post. Enjoy. Love you guys. Here is Grandma and Jarod in Palatka.
Mom, I found the puppets!!!
Off to find our room at the Villas at Disney's Wilderness Lodge.
