It’s so weird…
I’ll tell you what’s weird.
Someone, somewhere, put in the search terms “bunny puppy eating” and came up with this blog. That’s because about a month ago, I wrote about bringing you the “happy news” and opined that I could write about bunnies and puppies.
Now, I know this person typed these words into a search engine because WordPress.com the company that hosts my Blog, allows me to view such information.
I’m just wondering what this person was thinking, or, more to the point, hoping to find, when they typed these particular words into whatever search engine they used.
Like I said — weird.
Speaking of weird, it’s bizarre as hell that Kevin Costner — yes, you read that correctly, the actor/director, Kevin Costner — is going to pull our collective asses out of the fire down in the Gulf, thanks to his ingenious invention — pioneered 15 years ago (I guess, unbeknown to many, Costner’s an environmental entrepreneur) that SEPARATES OIL FROM WATER TO A PURITY LEVEL OF 99 percent. Imagine!!
Read here in the LA Times the fascinating tale behind Costner’s invention.
I watched Costner in a Congressional hearing the other day, and he impressed upon the committee that he had tried in vein to give his invention away to the government, in the wake of the Exxon Valdez, in the wake of Katrina…the government, OUR government said, “No thanks. Not just yet.”
Costner came off passionate, yet soberly rationale. He’s spent $24 million of his own money on this technology — no sponsors, no government handouts.
At the June 17 hearing, BP signaled that it was intending on purchasing a number of Costner’s machines. Read the ABC News blurb here.
Well, that’s not weird, that’s just pragmatic.
Let’s hope that by now, all the i’s have been dotted and the t’s have been crossed, and Costner’s machines are well on their way to the Gulf.
If not, that would just be negligent.
Until next time.
Keep the faith.

Costner offered it months ago, they should have done it then….What is weird is What’t the #$%!!!!!! hold up!
Hey, Lynn — Thanks for dropping by! Yes, I agree: what IS the problem, anyway? Corp. bs pulling the strings, I’d suspect.
I agree. I understand BP bought 32 machines but I don’t see them being used. I am getting frustrated at the delay here. Rumors are floating around that a massive evacuation is going to be done for all those within 200 miles of the coast.
This catastrophe is just getting out of hand.
I saw Kevin Costner on the hearings as welll as Larry King last week. He said that BP has ordered 32 but it will take his company about a month to manufacture all 32.
Michelle — Good to know! Thanks for stopping by…
BTW Amy – I have a surprise for you on my blog!
Hi Amy, learned of your blog by way of Dominques. I too have been impressed and awed by Costner and his foresight to develop a machine to do what the oil companies gave little thought to. Gives faith in humanity to see someone with much, share it for the good of all. Wouldn’t it be something to see the richest corporations doing the same?
Hi, Kerry — Yes, it would be something! // Thanks for checking out my blog. Hope you’ll stop by again! Best, Amy
