We just want to acknowledge the wise decision by Interior Secretary Ken Salazar to maintain the moratorium on new oil and gas drilling off the coast of Florida and on the East Coast from Maine to Florida. Born and raised myself in Northern Virginia I spent many a summer at my aunts beach house on the Outer Banks. We would caravan with friends and family to just about every beach and campground from Cape Henlopen, Delaware to the Florida Keys. The thought of watching those countless estuaries destroyed like those on the Gulf Coast was almost unbearable. It looks like don't have to worry, for now anyway. If only there was a public bus system, like the one in Mexico, that could take you from one beach town to another for 20 pesos.
