Here comes the rain again

I haven't posted since 22 June, and it's been both refreshing and frustrating. I spent most of that time down in Louisiana as part of the federal government's response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Mentally,I think I have that processed, but I am not yet sure how much I want to write here. Sadly, the Administration for whom I work is really clamping down on communications regarding the spill, and I am having an internal debate about whether the spill is really worth my career.

In that respect, sadly, the fear mongers have won.

UPDATE (22 July 2010):
Check out this article on early signs of the ecological impact of the spill.

I'm sorry to hear of your situation. It would be valuable to hear your perspective, and I'd hate to have to wait for your memoir.

Well, I'm going to do something in the next few days. Its just a balancing act of how much "inside baseball" I want to put out here.
