Oh, well I feel better already!

"Oh, well I feel better already!"

What will kill us faster? A big boom or global warming? I'm going for the big boom.

Yellowstone

It's a beautiful park. Easy to navigate and plenty of places to stay.

[Cobra64]

Bush’s fault.

[tubebender]

Remember Horace Greeley's words...

The best laid plans of Meese and Men should involve moving East as I fear if Yellowstone goes so goes the Cascadia Subduction Zone and I will need a place to rest my weary bones...

[Outland]

Sorry, folks... the world isn’t ending today.

When the animals start leaving the park....

[glock rocks]

If jellystone splodes, it’s goin east. I’ll stay here and take pictures of the splatter.

Er, wait, am I supposed to worry? Maybe I misread the article and the urgency of your ping...

OH MY GOD, WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!

or something.

"Sorry, folks... the world isn’t ending today."

That may disappoint some.

[glock rocks]

BTW, that wasn’t Horace Greeley, it was John Steinbeck.

... or Duane Hoover. I forget.

“It’s a beautiful park. Easy to navigate and plenty of places to stay.”

From the article it sounds like a crowded place from when I was there in 1949 and you could camp pretty much anywhere and not a lot of people.

[glock rocks]

That may disappoint some.

Sometimes patients who are notified that they have a terminal condition, who are later notified that the diagnosis was incorrect, or that the condition has reversed itself, become very belligerent and/or violent upon hearing the news. Seems they have put a series of events in effect that gives them a finality and comfort, and hate having this disrupted.

  Evacuating Yellowstone would never be easy.

Nevermind Yellowstone ... try evacuating 2/3 of North America! If the Yellowstone megavolcano does its thing, as powerfully as it believed that it is capable of doing, then it's pretty much over for 99% of mankind within a year or two, due to darkness and starvation.

Oh well, world's gotta end somehow, I guess. I'll worry more AFTER it happens.

[Dallas59]

I went last year and it wasn’t too bad. Some places I saw very few people. I still recommend it.

[blackbart.223]

They lived directly under Mount Vesuvius.

[JasonC]

The grand tetons are prettier. Drive over to Jackson, worth it.

[blackbart.223]

"Seems they have put a series of events in effect that gives them a finality and comfort, and hate having this disrupted."

I'm practical if nothing else.

[glock rocks]

LOL. Me too.

Wonder if the lava flow will reach Salt Lake County.

Naw, that sucker’s headed for Milwaukee.

[Pete-R-Bilt]

for when you need to get in the SUV and outrun the volcano!
