I knew that there are active volcanoes along the west coast and in Alaska and Hawaii, and that Yellowstone might explode catastrophically at any moment during the next million years, but I didn’t realize that there are also erupting volcanoes in the midwest until I read this headline: “Small ash emission from a Cleveland, OH volcano.” Gee, I hope TSO and Maureen are okay. ((This is the mountain in question.))
(Via Eruptions.)
Those who are fascinated by volcanoes might be interested in a recent addtion to my links, Volcano Picture of the Week.
Of course I had to go looking for the volcano in Ohio. Now it makes sense.
Alaska is something of a foreign concept to the rest of the country. According to the “Lower 48” Alaska is not part of the continental United States. Patrons of Craig’s List here have had people from Alabama and Georgia purchasing things from Fairbanks, AK (Arkansas).
Hey, as long as they all stay “down there”…Alaska is full of igloos, dog mushing, whale fat, ice, snow and 40 below.
