actually..I thought he meant volcano monitoring here in Louisiana..

Actually, I have no problem with volcano monitoring in Louisiana. Sounds realitively inexpensive to me. In fact, since no one else wanted the job, I have appointed myself chief scientist in charge of volcano monitoring here in Manhattan. No status changes to report since I began monitoring. Send email for updates.

You have to watch out being smug ~ although you wouldn't think Fairfax County Virginia had a volcano, the USGS building in Reston has a circular driveway in front.

It sits immediately atop one of those multimillion year old buried volcano plugs that dot Earth's surface.

We hope the pluton that threw that sucker up is totally dead but you never can tell.
