Sort of like studying when the Sun is going to explode into a dwarf star. I wonder if the grant money was tied to AGW.

Volcano
Songwriters: J. BUFFETT, K. SYKES, H. DAILEY
1979

Chorus:
Now i don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know where i’m a gonna go
When the volcano blow

Chorus:
Let me say now i don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know where i’m a gonna go
When the volcano blow

Ground she’s movin’ under me
Tidal waves out on the sea
Sulphur smoke up in the sky
Pretty soon we learn to fly

Chorus:
Let me hear ya now i don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know where i’m a gonna go
When the volcano blow

Now my girl quickly say to me
Mon you better watch your feet
Lava come down soft and hot
You better lava me now or lava me not

Chorus:
Let me say now i don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know where i’m a gonna go
When the volcano blow

— spoken: “mr utley...”

No time to count what i’m worth
‘cause i just left the planet earth
Where i go i hope there’s rum
Not to worry mon soon come

Chorus:
Now i don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know where i’m a gonna go
When the volcano blow

Chorus:
One more now i don’t know (ah he don’t know)
I don’t know (he don’t know, mon)
I don’t know where i’m a gonna go
When the volcano blow

But i don’t want to land in new york city
Don’t want to land in mexico (no no no)
Don’t want to land on no three mile island
Don’t want to see my skin aglow (no no no)

Don’t want to land in commanche sky park
Or in nashville, tennessee (no no no)
Don’t want to land in no san juan airport
Or the yukon territory (no no no)

Don’t want to land no san diego
Don’t want to land in no buzzards bay (no no no)
Don’t want to land on no ayotollah
I got nothing more to say

Chorus:
I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know where i’m a gonna go
When the volcano blow

Chorus:
Just a one more, i don’t know (he don’t know)
I don’t know (i don’t know, man)
I don’t know where i’m a gonna go
When the volcano blow

The blob is called a diapir.

They couldn’t have found a better word for it, or just used blob? They had to have a scientific term?

We should locate the leak and stuff algore in it. A wooden plug might hold it for a few years.

I think the leading hypothesis on the sun is that its shell is going to expand out to the orbit of at least the first asteroid belt; maybe out to the orbit of Jupiter. Then it will collapse into a red dwarf after having vaporized Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, and the asteroid belt. Then it will remain like that for billions of years until it cools, finally turning into a dark mass of what was formerly a life-giving star.

It’s not big enough to go nova.

“Uh oh. Ballooning diapers are never good.”

Typically a sign of a massive eruption.
