#1 That ash isn't ash. It's more like rock-sponge. It's worse if it rains; then it turns into a liquid cement. I remember my St. Helens.

That plane was lucky to get restarted; I'm surprised they'd be foolish enough to fly through the cloud. I thought they diverted everyone around this kind of thing.

I've been looking for a webcam with no success. Any word where it falls on the EI scale for eruptions?

#2 this will not help Glowball Warming. Obamessiah should be called upon to stop the eruption

#3 To: Halliburton Volcano Division
From: Director, Halliburton Targeting Committee

Look, boys. We don't necessarily mind you guys testing out your newest toys, but you simply must consult on the choice of targets with this committee before the test.

Our target list includes a host of opportune sites where you could have received all kinds of data from your recent test such as the effects of volcanic ash on the respiratory systems of mullahs and Muslim citizenry, the effects of volcanic ash on the targeting systems, lubrication, and fuel economy of IRG ballistic missile, the efects of the ash on Iranian nuclear laboratory facilities, and the results of large-scale volcanic eruptions on the movement of populations in remote desert countries floating on a sea of oil.

Please, in the future, limit your tests to our approved targeting list as follows,

Tehran, Qum, Islamabad, Mecca, Medina, NWFP, etc., etc.

#4 So let me guess. This is in WOT Operations because the Taliban somehow managed to bomb the volcano into activity in order to terrorize the townsfolk?

In other news Mt. St. Helens dome building eruption is declared over according to the US Geological Survey.

#5 I blame Bush. And Gaia's pissed about Kyoto.

Citizens Mandate..
.. Washington DC shall be targeted first things first, for continuous eruptions till it is buried 100 yards deep. :)

#9 Is Gaia telling us to get the oil out from the ground - its irritating Mother Earth.

Drill Now!

#10 Sorry for the WOT dept misfiling. It should have been under Local.

There is now better monitoring of volcanic eruptions on the Aleutians and Russian Kamchatka Peninsula, as there is a lot of air traffic on the North Pacific routes.
