where can I get 5000 sandbags? I'll need a raft for my cats. Oh, should I get 45 gallons of milk and thirty cases of TP from WalMart??? And almost finally, do they sell swimmies for old men?? My biceps aren't what they used to be....Can we be like Mr. & Mrs. Howell?? I have an ascot.

The lava flow lies on the land like a dream, a wonderland of rock. A thousand years ago the ground was torn open and lava erupted into the sky, forever changing the landscape and the lives of the people who lived here. A thousand years later, trees and flowers grow among the rocks, and people...

Our position in the realm has always been tenuous and fairly insignificant in the big picture.

Sure there is something that can be done. You'll have about 6 hours after it happens to head west to higher ground before the wave gets here. Then after the water recedes, head back home to clean up.
