I've been feeling low since Saturday, when we drove to Apalachicola on gorgeous Apalachicola Bay to deliver some life jackets from our old boat, Rosie. We sold them to a man who is working for BP, managing boaters who are searching for signs of oil. As of noon Saturday they hadn't spotted any in the waters around the little fishing town. The woman at the Visitors' Bureau told us that there is actually a rise in numbers of tourists, & there were people roaming the streets, shopping in the glaring sun. We saw this urgent sign at a fish house. I felt hard-hearted until we drove out of town, & the grasses & blue-greens & glow took my breath away.
