OK I couldn't go to sleep... Sorry...

Anyhow - We have an active Volcano blowing up lately. I'm sure you've all heard of it.

Mt. Redoubt.

Anyhow - where I live, I'm fairly safe, unless there is a major direction change in the wind.

We've had earthquakes associated with the volcano blowing up - so it is definitely interesting.

But... browsing the EVO website - I happened upon one of the pictures there - and it made me stop...

It made me realize how VERY small we are.

How very much is out there - vast...

It's a satellite image of Redoubt blowing up and the Steam/Ash Cloud. - But it is what is visible above the atmosphere - and it was taken from ASIA borders I think.

Avo is an interesting website - I mean - natural disasters and all - but it has a ton of information on Alaskan Volcanoes (and there are a lot of them.) It has some truly awesome pictures as well.

This is AVO's Link

And this is the picture that kind of made me feel small:

@wagerwitch: Are you from Alaska? I have been to your blog and didn't find any information on your whereabouts.

I have a couple of blog post about Mt Redoubt.

Well, did you know that there is a super-volcano that lies underneath Yellowstone? Geologists are predicting that should that volcano erupt, we are looking at an ash cloud that could cover a huge portion of the United States.

  Or maybe it blows when the poles accelerate their flip-flop in 2012?

  I couldn't see why Polish flip-flop racing would incite God's judgement!?

Yeah - in Alaska - My website however is about a "FICTIONAL WAGERING WITCH" for the online Gambling community - and she has no actual home town to speak of... She flies about looking for bonuses and things... LOL!

But me, myself and I - I live in Alaska.

My Witch is a personna developed specifically for providing to the type of clientele that I provide to.

She's not the same personna that is here at BC and other places that I'm active in. (the real me... Grin)
