EYEFUL Volcano.
Wonder when the impacted sunsets/sunrises will make it to our coast?
Oooh, should be pretty. I'm guessing a few more days for you, another for me.
ps... referral link is missing an "l".
Thanks for the catch on the link. Odd! They must have changed it after I copied the link from the address bar. Computers, they are teh weird.
Also, cats, who must have been responsible for awakening the Elder Gods.
Ticky boxes good, though, so one for three.
Freakin' amazing.
I'm waiting for Albuquerque to erupt into fury.
Did you know there are five dormant volcanoes in the city limits?
They're only small and have been dormant for thousands of years, but I used to imagine what it would be like if they did pop their tops!
