We’ve had a discussion, and Snow White is ready to continue her travels. While I was away visiting family in the U.K. she really relaxed – hit the beach, slept in, did a little gardening, watched a bunch of TV and got caught up with the news. Not that there was much of anything that was new, she said, but that it was nice to catch up with the various talking heads whom she thought of as old friends. She was also glad to see her old studio was still around, tho’ she misses the celluloid days of yore. The Dwarves were not mentioned.
Watching the evening news, however, Snow White found the information of the oil problem in the Gulf of Mexico very concerning. She kept asking me why they kept calling it the “oil spill.” “A spill,” she clarified, “happens when something spills out of a container, not up out of the ground!” She was quite indignant. Apparently, having spent so much time with her head in the sand, Snow has had many heart-to-heart talks with Gaia. Snow said that Gaia was really pissed with the way her resources were being used and abused. So this “spill,” is 63 plus days of oil being furiously pumped out into the Gulf by a very cross Gaia. The oil company may be able to relieve the pressure, but Snow warns that will not be the end of it. She said, echoing a very old television advertisement, “It’s not nice to fool with Mother Nature!” Apparently Mom Nature has a few tricks up her sleeves that we haven’t seen yet!
Concerned that her mode of transportation will be compromised, and that she might get her gown covered in oily residue, Snow White is planning on departing these shores this week. She’s anxious to get ahead of the worst of the oil plumes before they head up the East Coast of the United States. Snow is heading off on the next leg of her journey ferried by the North American current of the Gulf Stream. She has a yen to see Europe tho’ she understands that the Gulf Stream actually splits and heads both for Norway and the Canary Islands. When I mentioned that Europe wasn’t a guarantee, Snow simply shrugged and said that the Canary Islands would be lovely as they have many beaches upon which to land. Norway would be more problematical with its cliffs and deep fjords. Snow was very sanguine about it all, and mentioned that should she be heading for Norway, she's considering stopping briefly in Scotland as she's curious about Haggis.
I’ll let you know when she goes. We need to do her roots with some dye and give her the black back, and a couple of very minor repairs to her chemise. Snow said that whenever she goes traveling, she likes to look her best!

Are the dwarves in attendance? I would think it would be tough for snow to travel with sleepy and grumpy
