ustrax.... glad you faired well. Only earthquakes encountered in Akron, Ohio (my diggs) are little teeny tremors. Not sure how I would react to dancing with buildings!
Wanted to let everyone know my daughter is out of the hospital now! She gets outpatient physical therapy. She is doing fine but her vocal cords are still slack. Strong young woman is now with her boys (with a lot of TLC from her family)! This illness hit her like a brick but she is bounding back. Craig |

That's great news, Craig, you must be so relieved. Going to be an amazing and very emotional Christmas for all of you, I'm sure.
No earthquakes here in Cumbria but a LOT of snow, a good 6, maybe 7" in the last couple of days. Of course, our gritters and salters were caught unaware so Kendal and its surroundings look like a cross between a car demolition derby and Narnia, but the thaw has set in. Went on a photo safari yesterday and got some nice piccies. Some of these are in 3D, by the way.. http://twitpic.com/uny8z http://twitpic.com/unyjk http://twitpic.com/unz29 http://twitpic.com/unz7g -------------------- |

Indeed it has, Craig, and I'm very, very glad.
 I am especially glad that she'll be around her kids & out of the hospital; the joy of that alone will speed her recovery! -------------------------- 2010's gonna be good for you and yours, man, and I personally think really good for us all. I wish happiness & peace for all of the UMSF family, as well as a suggestion: Just smile broadly & nod at one stranger sometime this season. They may well wonder just what the hell's wrong with you, but something pleasant will stick in their minds, and further smiles will ensue down the line. It's like a nuclear fission reaction...nothing wrong with that!  (Boy, am I shooting my evil robot persona to hell or what? Ahhh, who cares??? Happy holidays!!!) -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

Just saw on CNN that a number (if not all) of the major airports in the UK are closed due to ash from the Icelandic eruptions. Are you guys expecting an ashfall? If so, get some surgical masks ASAP!

No, not expecting any ashfall, the ash is very high and disperse and should pass right on over us.
It is only a danger to aircraft at altitude, hence why the entire UK airspace is essentially closed today.

Perhaps we will see some interesting sunsets this evening?

Yeah, I'd expect some awesome sunsets, Spot!
Hell, might affect the entire Northern Hemisphere for that matter.Glad to hear that there won't be any ground deposition; that crap is nasty. Very abrasive, so you don't want to breathe it or even wipe it off the hood of your car. Learned the latter lesson the hard way by messing up the hood of my parent's new Ford Pinto during the 1980 eruption of Mt. St. Helens (don't think I've been quite forgiven to this day!)

Seriously, let's wait a bit as "they" are talking about ash falling down -------------------- |

Fingers crossed these ****** clouds clear and allow me to hike up to the castle, with my new camera, and get some pretty volcanic sunset shots...

You'll probably have more than one chance. That volcano doesn't look like it's ready to shut down anytime soon. (You never know, though.)
