They've evacuated about 3000 people in the area and upgraded the alert level.

I know, the quakes are becomig more numerous, and are still at magnitude 3.
Good luck out your way.
Coincidence? I think not.
The King never sought a Global Test--he didn't check with DeGaulle or Dag Hammersjold--he just did what needed to be done.
Not so with today's Senator from North Vietnam, Jacques & Kofi's Lawn Jockey, the Nuanced Quisling With Delusions of Adequacy:
Our biggest worry would be ash.
LOL. You have such a way with words Phil. :-)
LOL!
"Broken Top" volcano does look like Helens.
Beautiful rainbow there alfa6. Thanks.
I guess I'll put off washing my car for now just in case we get some of the ash.

LOL! Great descriptions.
Time and again on the campaign trail Kerry argues for a grand international alliance to win the Iraq war. He repeated this in the debate. But in 1991 the U.S. headed a grand alliance of 36 nations that was fully backed by a United Nations resolution. And Kerry still opposed that war to liberate Kuwait. The U.N.-backed coalition included Britain, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Turkey, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Syria, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, and Qatar. All the pieces were there, including the cause of justice. Still he voted against it. How, knowing this, can anyone believe Kerry when he says he will show us a better way to defeat our terrorist enemies today?
If ever there was a military action that passed the “global test” — which Kerry argued for in the debate — the Persian Gulf War was it. It overwhelmingly met Kerry’s dubious standard — and still he opposed it. This reveals a credibility problem of the first order. Almost defining credulity, Kerry said in a brief statement on the Senate floor, in an accompaniment to his vote against the Persian Gulf War, that “The president made a mistake to unilaterally increase troops, set a date, and make war so probable.”
Clearly, Kerry has a very strong aversion to the use of military power under virtually any circumstance. Of course, this raises serious questions about Kerry’s ability to conduct any military operations against our fundamentalist radical-Islamist enemies. Can we really believe that the man who has called the war in Iraq a “grand diversion,” a “colossal error,” an “incredible mess,” and the “wrong war” in the “wrong place” at the “wrong time” — pessimistic and defeatist statements all — is capable of waging a strong foreign policy and prosecuting a military action of any sort? What’s really left here is the portrait of a politician steeped in ambiguity and equivocation who at bottom has a strong aversion to war of any kind, for any reason.

The memorial needed half a million dollars. By 1961, the total already raised was $250,000, which was only half of what they needed. On March 25, 1961, Elvis Presley gave a unique live concert at the Bloch Arena in Pearl Harbor to raise funds for the USS Arizona War Memorial raising over $64,000.
Thanks Sam.
You're welcome partner. ;-)
Good night buddy :-)
