Be safe, Melrick.

Well, yes, it only took the lava over 40 000 earthquakes in the span of 3 weeks to finish buffering, Desi  
The location is sort of in the middle of the Reykjanes peninsula, so it’s kind of midway between the capital where I live, and the little town where my parents and baby sister & family live. But thankfully, the fissure is far enough away from the towns that there is very little danger. Biggest concern at the moment is gas emissions from the fissure going over townships, so authorities are issuing warnings about keeping windows shut, and that the lava might possibly run over the road that’s on the south coast of the peninsula, connecting it to the south coast of the country. But that’s alright, because there are two other roads out of the town where my family live, so there’s no danger of people getting cut off  
But honestly, this is exciting enough that my parents (now officially both in their 60’s) ran out into their car and drove off to try and see the eruption, like about half the damned town

“...and having found the porn it most likes, the volcano finishes edging.”

Seems like a good metaphor!  (ie, the lava’s finished buffering, now coming out )

It finished buffering; I can see the eruption!

I think mum had THE best comment today… she got a text message while talking to me on the phone, and checked it… then told me that it was the county police department announcing that because of an “intended volcanic eruption...” such and such preparations had to be made… 
I asked her “Intended? Are you sure it said intended? You sure it didn’t say possibly imminent?” 
She then admitted that possibly the message had said Imminent and not Intended volcanic eruption, and that she’d probably just forgot what it said the moment she read it… 
And that folks, is how I knew that my mother has become one with these earthquakes

Okay, so who turned up the speakers to rock and roll?

That’s not true… I’m totally afraid of spiders…  

I have to admit that it baffles me that there are countries where people have only experienced one earthquake    This is the first time I’ve experienced a swarm like this, but one or two earthquakes every other year or so is just normal for me

This is what we get for inhabiting a country on top of a tectonic fault line, Melrick. 

This is because you are all crazy Vikings and fear nothing.

One mild Earthquake was enough for me. G’luck getting through ‘em

Mum says she’s used to it by now, and doesn’t even notice it unless she’s being shaken out of her chair

I lived through one earthquake – a fairly bad one – and that’s quite enough for me!

Honestly, I’d be a wreck!   

From what I’ve heard about Daschunds, they have an attitude to match the length of their legs, so that mouse probably insulted him in some way  
And I’m certain that Freyja is a minion of Mollie, so I am sure that befriending local skunks is just a part of some grand scheme towards world dominion
