Um, yah. Our 20% is about 3” deep. Gotta go sweep the dish... after I find my Cabela’s glacier tread fleece lined slippers. I think the kids left the satellite broom in the garage...

"It is documented that animals go nuts prior to an earthquake or a volcanic eruption. Same might hold here."

So what do you propose to do about it? The end of the world has been predicted so many times that you would think people would learn. If the damn thing blows up tommorow(my bet is it won't) you had a good life. If it doesn't blow up you wasted part of your life getting upset about it.

lava won’t be the issue, ash will be the issue for the entire SW.

Looking out the window is often better than weather forcasts. Old timers, I'm becoming one of those, See things better.

... a nice protective layer to save us from Algore’s global warming/cooling/climate change?

Have ya ever wondered why these global guys sound like Amway salescritters?

"lava won’t be the issue, ash will be the issue for the entire SW."

Why do you worry about this? I don't.

[glock rocks]

Sheesh. I went upstairs to sweep the snow off the dish, and ended up reheating limas and ham for the girls. Well, then we had to sample the Christmas piroulines. I thought the chocolate were the best, but the french vanilla got rave reviews too.

I’ve really got to find those snow slippers and clean the satellite dish.

BRB.

Lima beans are one of the nastiest foods on God's green earth.

Not to denigrate (does that come from the root for niggardly?) preparedness, um, my work has a required plan for, ready, 'mud flow.' We work on a plateau, and 'mud flow' is one of the least of my worries, though I've often pondered them. In fact, I've changed my tagline.

[Arizona Carolyn]

Who said I am worried? I responded to the comment about lava, this will likely be an ash event, much worse than lava. As to worry, I feel it is only a matter of time before there is a major geologic event of some sort in the USA, it is the natural order of things, no need in worrying about it, but it is interesting to study and discuss.

[Arizona Carolyn]

They think we are all dumb as rocks.

[Rastus]

Samantha Carter will figure out how to stop it.

[glock rocks]

The girls thanked me for them. Either I’m doing something right as a parent, or something very wrong. They also like asparagus, brussels sprouts and artichokes.

I came up on peas, corn and beans. What’s wrong with kids these days!?

No, that would be Brussels sprouts. I've had lima beans that bordered on delicious; but most of the time they were over on the other border of nastiness.

If it’s like it was twenty years ago, it’s best to go early in the season. Late Mayish. The crowds build over the summer.

[Dustbunny]

Wow, does this mean we won’t have to live through the BHO presidency?

[Outland]

It’s 1:30 AM Central Time and the world still has not ended yet.

I drove to the Weiser (Idaho) fiddler festival on the weekend following the eruption of Mt St Helens. Met some folks driving in the opposite direction who’d changed air and fuel filters multiple times... one particular dead head told me when I asked if he’d seen the ash... “Yah, been through all them changes man.”

I only had to replace the Honda air filter once, and we were a week out and 500 miles away...

My point is many are nervous when people post apocalyptic stuff that has little basis for concern. My opinion.
