Surreal ... a world turned grey-white! Our property values dropped 50% overnight ... without "benefit" of an economic recession or foreclosure crisis ... see mama nature really can do it all.<br /><br />Fran the very last pic is incredibly beautiful. I see a woman's head with thick white-gold earrings and flowing tress scarf.D.K.

(Or is that just a Toyota Rav4 they're in? )<br /><br />Seriously though, since this eruption and its disruptive effects upon air travel, I have come across other such potential threats like Italy's Marsili undersea volcano 90 miles SW of Naples that could blow anytime, causing an enormous tsunami. <br /><br />And what's this about a possible super volcano lurking beneath Mount St. Helens where "scientists now have special instruments that enable them to 'peek' beneath the seemingly dormant volcano, and they have seen a large amount of semi-molten rock, which could set off another eruption at any time?" <br /><br />"A supervolcano is a major eruption that can send up enough ash into the atmosphere to block sunlight for years. ... Since these only occur about once every hundred thousand years, scientists tend to ignore this very real threat.<br /><br />"If what scientists suspect is true, it would be one of the largest magma chambers ever discovered, like the one in Yellowstone National Park, which some experts think could erupt at any time, just like it did over 600,000 years ago."<br /><br />Wow, imagine a world without air travel! Gee, might that lessen your workload some?Dadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17257598218959429347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3882537619389851611.post-62072146649052121162010-04-18T16:55:19.739-07:002010-04-18T16:55:19.739-07:00sometimes when plans go awry, you just have to mak...sometimes when plans go awry, you just have to make the best of it. i saw some londoners the other day saying that they fully understand having to close heathrow. can you imagine americans saying the same? they'd be bitching and moaning and threatening lawsuits. we are not a patient people.nonnie9999http://mikk2.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3882537619389851611.post-57858296147835622272010-04-18T15:53:21.139-07:002010-04-18T15:53:21.139-07:00This could be a long-term disaster for air travel ...This could be a long-term disaster for air travel and tourism if this lasts 2 years as it did before. Plus all that ash in the atmosphere could cause a cold summer and affect harvests of many crops. Scary. <br /><br />That said, if I were stranded in Europe I wouldn't be spending my time at the airport!Mauigirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15529827915262851910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3882537619389851611.post-24132330503896848512010-04-18T14:50:12.675-07:002010-04-18T14:50:12.675-07:00I have friends stranded in London, but are right M...I have friends stranded in London, but are right Mother Nature is in charge,good postD W JazzLoverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10364668632222212220noreply@blogger.com
