Icelandic Volcano _ News Update

Might be time to invest in ocean going passenger ships.

I just heard on tv that this is a repeat of a volcano that happened in 1821, that erupted for a full 13 months.

It is a mess and a number of people will experience hardship which is sad but maybe this will wake up some people that when all is said and done there are forces bigger than us piddling human beings.  We get reminded by hurricanes and floods and such but there are usually fleeting and do not effect as many people on a global basis.  This is ongoing and reaches far beyond a specific location.

Nature has acted, will continue to act and there is very little if anything we can do about it.

Such a wold-wide mess.  I saw people on the news this morning saying that they were going broke due to being stranded.  So sad.  I also saw a couple days ago that there are some people going to the airports and offering families their homes to rest, shower and spend the night if needed.  I hope more people around the world are doing that.

The ash cloud has been above the UK since last week, all flights have been gounded since then, It's a nightmare for thousands of people across europe now. I have friends stuck in Germany too. Scientists are warning this could go on for months.

Well, people are stranded all over the place.  My friends are stuck in Germany.

Wonder how it will all shake down by June...
