The Church at Stanley Mission, Saskatchewan
In 1850 the Reverend Robert Hunt was sent to the area from England. He chose for his church the commanding site known as Amuchewaspimewin, the "shooting up place" and named it Stanley.
Begun shortly after his arrival, Holy Trinity Church was constructed of logs cut locally and whipsawn by the Indians, with hardware and stained glass brought from England via Hudson Bay. It was completed in 1856..."http://www.digipac.ca/canoeing/churchill/church_at_stanley_mission.htm A Brief History of Stanley Mission:http://stanleymission.com/history.htm

NEW ORLEANS — "If residents of the Gulf Coast didn't have bad luck right now, they might not have any luck at all.
BP's latest attempt to contain the worst spill in American history suffered yet another setback Wednesday when a robot-operated saw jammed as it was cutting through a damaged riser pipe at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico..."http://www.ottawacitizen.com/news/Attempts+plug+gushing+Gulf+well+another+snag/3101700/story.html "Oil spill nears the beaches of Florida, and the leak may not be plugged before Christmas":http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1283544/BP-oil-spill-hit-Florida.html
Bruce Springsteen - Thunder Road
Mary' dress waves
Like a vision she dances across the porch
As the radio plays
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
Hey that's me and I want you only
Don't turn me home again
I just can't face myself alone again
Don't run back inside
Darling you know just what I'm here for
So you're scared and you're thinking
That maybe we ain't that young anymore
Show a little faith there's magic in the night
You ain't a beauty but hey you're alright
Oh and that's alright with me
You can hide 'neath your covers
And study your pain
Make crosses from your lovers
Throw roses in the rain
Waste your summer praying in vain
For a saviour to rise from these streets
Well now I'm no hero
That's understood
All the redemption I can offer girl
Is beneath this dirty hood
With a chance to make it good somehow
Hey what else can we do now ?
Except roll down the window
And let the wind blow
Back your hair
Well the night's busting open
These two lanes will take us anywhere
We got one last chance to make it real
To trade in these wings on some wheels
Climb in back
Heaven's waiting on down the tracks
Oh-oh come take my hand
We're riding out tonight to case the promised land
Oh-oh Thunder Road oh Thunder Road
Lying out there like a killer in the sun
Hey I know it's late we can make it if we run
Oh Thunder Road sit tight take hold
Thunder Road
Well I got this guitar
And I learned how to make it talk
And my car's out back
If you're ready to take that long walk
From your front porch to my front seat
The door's open but the ride it ain't free
And I know you're lonely
For words that I ain't spoken
But tonight we'll be free
All the promises'll be broken
There were ghosts in the eyes
Of all the boys you sent away
They haunt this dusty beach road
In the skeleton frames of burned out Chevrolets
They scream your name at night in the street
Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet
And in the lonely cool before dawn
You hear their engines roaring on
But when you get to the porch they're gone
On the wind so Mary climb in
It's town full of losers
And I'm pulling out of here to win
