Hi Jaro,

Darned if I know, but I did get the call. My wife answered the phone, so I  

have a witness.

I think its probably a case of a large beauracracy not knowing what other  

parts were doing.

I'm sure PS was in touch with the CG; they'd be stupid not to be. But this  

Coast Guardsman

who called me said he was calling all the owners of intake structures on  

the Delaware, as a matter of policy, to inform them of the oil spill.
