The Eyes are Watching Me

Had a busy shopping morning. Started off going to Goodwill. I bought a couple of sweaters, as they were on sale. Tom was after fleeces to cover the windows. He found one, but wanted more. So we stopped by Hancock fabrics, which has them on sale. He had a taste for the expensive patterned ones. We were both amused by the ones of little kitty faces on light purple fleece, so we got a couple of yards. The only room that fits with a purple them is my bedroom. So now I have kitty faces staring at me. It fits with the theme, since I have 7 masks on the wall. I'd worry about voyeurism tendencies, but I think I'm safe. It does help keep the room warmer.

In other news, when I was home for Thanksgiving, we drove past the Zip so I could see it one last time. I was amused by the graffiti "ST US", which is all that was left of "TRUST JESUS". Trust Jesus to save buildings, I guess.

Suicidal Volcanologists

Or, How Not to Be One

2) Beware of many sources of danger on a volcano.
Extreme heat, cold, windstorms, heavy rain/ acid rainfall, lightning, altitude sickness, blizzards, getting lost, volcanic activity, unstable terrain, dangerous plants, animals, and insects. Volcanoes generate their own weather which can be severe and different from that only a few km away. Localised wind storms may reach 150 km/hr without warning. Beware that some areas may be high risk areas for robbery, kidnap, personal injury, civil unrest etc. Traveling to new regions may put the traveler at risk of diseases such as malaria, typhoid, food poisoning etc. Take all necessary prophylactic medication and immunizations.
Getting to the volcano may be more dangerous than the volcano itself!
