Typical day at the office - went to a hearing on the health impacts of the Gulf Oil Spill...and learned that the government has no idea about any of the long term effects of being around the oil/dispersants because there was not extensive research done during any of the previous oil spills. Not helpful! So they're conducting studies now, but that doesn't help much as far as predicting what preventative measures should be taken for the future. The Capitol Hill Challenge starts tomorrow - it's a competition between the offices to see who can log the most steps during the next five-six weeks. So i'll be wearing a pedometer from the moment i wake up to the moment i go to bed. Should be fun!
