Oil has slinked into the inland waters of Perdido Bay, a body of water on the Alabama-Florida state line. There weren't enough skimmers or boom to corral the brown, gloppy goo.

As the oil from the spill has moved east, it's been a familiar story. Will officials in Florida be any more successful?
Every year, it's a weekend of emotional ambiguity marking two medical anniversaries with totally different outcomes.

Earthquake, tsunami,
