Exhalations

Because of Pen Pal, I pay attention to volcanic eruptions. Yesterday Mt. Sinabung, one of Indonesia's 130 active volcanoes, erupted. The Guardian has a photo essay here. Two photos from that set below:

Meanwhile, where I live, the land has fever-and-ague, going from deep, deep freeze to bursts of heat, during which it sweats and pants--not steam, though; just water vapor.

During this brief melt, the secret roads of voles and mice are revealed. Their motto is a straight line is an abomination

I guess there are places, like at Kilauea (http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/kilauea/), which are pretty much perpetually erupting, low-grade. You could go there and see the lava dropping into the sea!
