Whew! I was worried about you. Well how was it? Did she let out a real
CHAAAAARRRRRFFFF!?!?! or Hic . . . up!
So Sam, are you saying you've moved up in the world since you met me. Enjoying the finer things in life now are you? he he he.
The way I see it is this way, if we go broke, we're going to have fun on the way!
w, since I met Sam I've moved all the way across the country, opened a business, have bird feeders all over my deck, eat more meat and potatoes than ever and walk more, work more and sleep less.
Who's getting the better deal here? :-)
No spell checker either. ;-)
Sounds like your wife has good taste!
Ugh . . . well . . . ya know . . . I've always prided myself in being a good listener. Yeah! That's the ticket! Okay, I'm observing . . .
[But on a serious note . . . you, young lady are tough, adventurous, smart and have a heart of gold . . . all your endeavors will pay off, bet some already have.]
Volcano Alert At Mount ST. Helens National Monument WA. Mar. 08

Breaking News Alert Washington Mt St Helens Awakes Washington USA -- Breaking News Alert Mount St Helens is Releasing Steam and Ash.
Team Amber Alert News has learned Mount St Helens is spewing ash and steam after being some what calm for several months now. Local media is continuing to cover this new event live.
"There was an eruption at 5:30 pm local time and the cloud of ash is estimated at 36,000 feet (10,800m)," Rob Harper of the Washington State Emergency Management service said. "We are monitoring the situation."
Team Amber Alert News is gathering more information on this breaking news story as St. Helens awakens after being some what silent for a couple of months as a mellow mountain of fire. A more explosive eruption, possibly dropping ash within a 10-mile radius of the crater, is possible at any time, scientists have said.
Breaking News Mount St. Helens has awakened dramatically this evening. The Volcano has periodically spewed ash and steam since last fall, when thousands of small earthquakes marked a seismic reawakening of the 9,677-foot mountain.
The plume was accompanied by an earthquake of about 2.0 magnitude. The volcano in SW Washington had rumbled to life again last fall, pumping out lava as the mountain nears the 25th anniversary of the devastating eruption of May 18th, 1980, that killed 57 people.
This latest volcanic venting from the mountain comes just after the state Board on Geographic Names unanimously chose Tulutson, the Cowlitz Indian word for ice, as the name for the glacier that has grown inside the mountain's crater.
The eruption occurred at about 5:20 p.m. Tuesday. The plume was accompanied by an earthquake of about 2.0 magnitude.
Mike Fergus, FAA, said he believes the cloud was mostly steam and did not present a danger to airplanes in the area. An ashfall advisory is in effect until 9 p.m. for the south Washington Cascade foothills and the south Washington Cascades.
The winds are expected to take the ash plume to the east and north of Mount St. Helens, with the heaviest amounts to fall in Skamania County, and lighter amounts in Cowlitz County.
Breathing volcanic ash can be dangerous to many people, especially those with respiratory problems.
More Details Residents in the area should stay tuned to local news radio and television news or NOAA radio. We recommend King Channel 5
Mount St. Helens rumbled back to life Sept. 23, with shuddering seismic activity that peaked above magnitude 3 as hot magma broke through rocks in its path. Molten rock reached the surface Oct. 11, marking resumption of dome-building activity that had stopped in 1986.

snippy, BE CAREFUL!
post photos!
On April 30, 1971 he happened to walk into a Detroit Liquor store during a robbery, and was shot to death by the store owner, who assumed that being an African-American like the two men who were holding up the store, Dwight Hal Johnson was also one of the robbers. Sergeant Johnson was in reality only stopping in to buy food for his infant son. His murder was never investigated by the Detroit police.
:-(
it's not bad if you cut it with this...
Glad to hear that business has picked up :-) The bad news is that you will have to unload more of them there seed bags :-(

And when I hear the word *hero* misapplied, I think of those guys, and I sometimes get more than a little annoyed.
Indeed!
Thanks Valin. I'll be careful. What we could see from the store was the cloud of steam. Looked like those photos of bomb explosion we see sometimes. All white, some gray on the outer fringes. Then we heard it would be blowing East, away from us. We are downwind, south east. It was neat to see it in the distance rising above the tall pines from our store. I tried to take pictures from the bluff at earlier eruptions but it's too far away for my camera to show it in any detail.
LOL. You flatter me, and yes my endeavors have paid off. I'm one lucky gal!
That picture is what we could see from the store, just add some tall pines in front of the bottom of the picture and that's it. Of course I had been taking pictures of the birds at my feeder at home so I didn't have the camera with me at work. Figures!

Grumble Grumble Grumble.
Looks like Mt. St Helen is making an ash of it's self.
Well SOMEONE had to say it.
We have a load coming in tomorrow, My arms hurt just thinkinng about it. ;-)
Slackers!
You're out of Ohio and in Oregon, what can be better than that? :-)
Good night Ralph!
