Twenty days ago, Tomtech was running a liveblog, Top Kill has begun! It was fascinating.
An undersea robot craft was sending up video from an improbable and amazing depth. The video showed oil, gas, and drilling mud, spewing from various broken mechanical contraptions, from the very bottom of the sea.
The oil and gas have been spewing ever since. Some day, that spewing oil will be stopped.
By the way, please rec the Mothership, if you haven't yet. Thanks.
Commenting in Tomtech's liveblog was getting thick and heavy. A Mothership was needed.
Mothership needed? (1+ / 0-)
I don't know exactly how it works, but liveblog about this will probably get high traffic though the day.
Should there be a mothership diary to handle it?

Yes! (1+ / 0-)
If someone can help with the logistics, I'll volunteer for one. (Don't multiple people have to help with them?) My pm is in my profile. I'll post this comment for the diarist, too.

I am not accustomed to being on the reclist. I was a bit nervous in just posting a Mothership. I thought it might fail!
Turned out to be the Mother of all Motherships.
