A gaucho herds cows down a road covered with volcanic ash in Argentina's Patagonian town of El Hoyo May 7, 2008. Experts believe Chile's Chaiten volcano could continue belching out vast clouds of ash for months but distraught people evacuated from nearby towns say they yearn to return as soon as possible. Ash that has reached as far as Argentina continued to spew for a sixth day on Wednesday, disrupting flights to the southern Patagonia region with no sign of let-up. REUTERS/Jorge Cortizo (ARGENTINA)

But for a kid from Chile..
a volcano is about national pride and being a survivor.
A boy holds a national flag while being evacuated from Futaleufu, 1300 kms south of Santiago. Ash from the erupting Chaiten volcano in southern Chile spread across a growing swathe of South America on Wednesday, forcing flight cancellations across much of Argentina and threatening to blanket more towns in Argentina and Chile.

Will the enviro-whackos be encouraging Americans to practice “volcano offsets” to mitigate the effects of volcanic gases?

“Ash that has reached as far as Argentina”
Is there any part of Chile that is far from Argentina? aside from the Atacama region, of course...Regardless, if you’re south of Valparaiso, you are not going to be far from Argentina...

Seems to be a LOT of geothermal and tectonic activity going on right now. Seems that there’s another story about quakes in the midwest and mountain west. I truly do hope it kicks up more.
Been a drier than usual Spring in Florida. I actually enjoy driving home with the windows down, but it’s getting close to 90. I would welcome some volcanic eruptions to cool us all down.
And bump for cool pictures. The Earth kicks ass!

Al Gore wants to sell the volcano some carbon credits. ;-)

Be prepared for:
Beautiful sunsets as the ash particles in the atmosphere ring the planet and cause refections.
global cooling as the ash particles reflect some heat back off the atmosphere.
