LOL - Especially when it's not raining down on OUR heads; YET!

I don't know about most people, but I occasionally like to take a break from the daily grind and the affairs of man and remember who is really in control by observing the unfathomable expanse of the universe or the awesome powers of nature! ;)

A wise blogger at the youtube site comments: I'm an expert at reading smoke signals...The volcano is shouting "Give me Algore and global warming will end" :D

I should have made the links open a new window, if possible on FR, though you can right click on the link, and select open in a new window, using I.E..

This volcano is on one edge of a 15 mile diameter bay. There is also a city there. The bay is a huge caldera left by an eruption about 22,000 years ago. There was also a noticeable dip in global temperatures at that time. This is just a little one compared with history.

Kinda makes one nervous to think this is occurring on the periphery of a huge volcano. Especially with all the recent earthquake activity around Japan.
