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 do, and will probably only get to the don't side of the see-saw when I'm actually in proximity to one and have no (more) choice in the matter.**

Did you see sovay's amazing lovelorn volcano story?

**Well okay: maybe I could settle for seeing a lava lake without actually needing to see the spewing ash and breathing the poisonous, superheated gases.

I SAW IT!

Yes, lack of poisonous, superheated gasses is *key*
