The Volcano Erupts
Mt. Redoubt has erupted at least 5 times since 10:30 last night. Ash has risen to 60,000 feet, but is blowing either due north or slightly NNW. That means it's staying away from Anchorage, for now.
*******************
Quote for the day:
"... they'll swing back to the belief that they can make people ... better. And I do not hold to that. So no more running. I aim to misbehave."
*******************
Well, it's begun: a black bear ran a gent up a tree, yesterday. After last year's in-town maulings, why take the chance? Read about it here.
Having received about nine inches of snow Saturday, now it's going to warm up into the mid-30s today. AccuHunch guesses it will get up to 40 by Thursday. We'll have another melty, slushy, sloppy mess. Yay.
UPDATE: As of noon today, 47 of the Iditarod racers have crossed under the burled arch in Nome. 20 are still on the trail. For many, many of those who run in the Iditarod, it's not about the race: it's about pitting themselves and their team against nature. That's a quest as old as mankind. Even the last one to cross the line, each year, has done something that 99.999 percent of the rest of us will never do.
*******************
I was awakened at 12:30 this a.m. by calls about the volcano, and have been up ever since. I'm at that point where additional caffeine will just make my hands shake & heart race, without waking me up any further. I may wind up sleeping at my desk, today.
I'm starting my annual springtime campaign to lose the winter weight that so many of us seem to add. Since the outdoors is still frozen and white, I'll be hiking the hallways ... that should give the tenants something to talk about.
Have a GREAT day, folks - let me hear from you. Especially let me know if there's anything you'd like me to write about. For the record, I'm planning a post about Homer, Alaska.
