Red, Hot, Liquid--MAGMA

I use GeekTool to keep this pic on my desktop:

Scientists had known for days that magma or molten rock was nearing the surface, as a bulge grew on the south side of the existing 1,000-foot lava dome

Is that magma in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

...sorry couldn't resist.

as a bulge grew on the south side of the existing 1,000-foot lava dome and the increasingly hot rock gave off steam as it met water and ice in the crater.

WHOA! You usually have to pay $1.99 a minute to heat talk like that.

I can't tell, is that lava or a river of water running from the mountain on the webcam picture?

Well, since no one seems to have a gigantic bottle of Pepto-Bismal to relieve Helen of her acid indigestion, when she blows, I hopes she regurgitates heavily into the backyards of Baghdad Jim McDermitt, Patty "Moron" Murray, Maria Cantbudgetwell and Gary Locke, to name a few liberal leftist demoncRATS on the west state of the state. "Let 'er blow!"

"Now that we have new lava at the surface, we're comfortable saying" that dome-building has resumed at the volcano

Maybe it's just me, but I'm thinking that if this thing blew itself to pieces their statement would go something like...

"Now that there is nothing left of Mt St Helens, we're comfortable saying that it blew up real good!"

	Dr. Evil, do you really expect them
	to pay?

		DR. EVIL
	No, Mr. Powers, I expect them to
	die.  Even after they pay me the
	money, I'm still going to melt all
	the cities of the world with hot
	magma.

""Now that we have new lava at the surface, we're comfortable saying" that dome-building has resumed at the volcano."

Is dome building like nation building?

Funny, but at the same time a metaphor for how Kerry will fight the WOT

A river. Been there for a while.

I figured as much.

Happy 1yr anniversary!

Thanks! I forgot actually ... wow a whole year. It seems longer for some reason, like the recall election was a few years ago.

I don't understand the timestamp on your picture. I have the same identical picture, stamped 13:49 Pacific Daylight Time. Yet your picture is 13:59 PDT and your post was 12:32 PDT. And pictures before and after 13:49 on my computer are different. Strange!

[roadcat]

Never mind. Your link is refreshing the pic. Doh!
