Another failure

Another failure

The latest attempt to stop the worst oil spill in American history has failed. BP announced that after several days of pumping mud and junk into the well using undersea robots, the attempt has failed. BP is now looking for other ways to plug the leak. We are all hoping it will be done soon.

President Barack Obama admitted that he was saddened that the oil is still flowing. The main problem is that the well is 5,000 feet underwater. This has made it difficult work on and new ideas are being tried. The well has spilled an estimated 40 million gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico.

Kentucky Derby

Kentucky Derby

It was a great race yesterday as Calvin Borel rode Super saver to a 2 1/2 length victory at the 136th running of the Kentucky Derby. After a heavy rain, the track was in a muddy condition as the gates opened and 20 horses took off. The winning time was 2:04.45 which was not bad considering the track condition.

The annual tournament at Churchill Downs went off without any major glitches and was a great show. There was the usual amount of wonderful hats as well as flowers all over the place. It was great to witness this wonderful event and I look forward to the Preakness to see if we have a possible Triple Crown winner.
