Luna was just eating her dinner. She did not eat it at night as she has done all her life. Instead, she wisely waits until morning when it is not as hot. I think that I will fill her dish first thing in the morning as pigeons come...

I am afraid of a few things. I have had to be brave due to a family with mental issues, stupid husband choices, and life's many absurdities. I do, however, have major issues with three things: Spiders, stupid people, and...

Where have I been recently? Well, I'm interested in learning more geology, so I'm taking an online college course through edX, on volcanic hazards and hazard mapping. It has been really interestingly timed. I did the first unit,...

I have seen enough volcano disaster flicks to put me off ever wanting to be a volcanologist, not that it was a job I ever really thought I'd be suited for anyway.
I also read about a volcanologist named David A. Johnston who was...

I have been studying volcanoes and specifically going to Sakurajima in Kyushu, Japan, during my holidays. When I came back for the third time, last December, I was shooting the breeze with the folks who run the Visitors Center and...

The explosion of Mount Tambora, a volcano, in April 1815 is generally regarded as the largest explosion ever recorded. Not only did it kill thousands of people, but it also had lasting effects on a worldwide scale.
Before the...

Some are having such severe weather that they feel they are living in a muddy mess, while others are dealing with erupting volcanoes.
Being in North Carolina at the moment, we have plenty of mud, but no volcanoes erupting....

With the continuing eruption of the Kilauea volcano on the big island of Hawaii, where 27 homes have been destroyed, a news article about Oregon volcanoes got my attention.
In 2001, scientists noticed an "80 square mile bulge of...

Mama Nature says "Pass the Tums"
There are times when we all feel a need for some Tums. Sometimes, that gas can get away from us at the worst time, and inconvenience others.
That goes for the planet Earth as well as we...

I have been to Hawaii twice; first time was to Kauai and Hawaii(the big island) and the second was to Maui. While the beaches and water are nice, I liked the volcanoes and things associated with them more. The craters, the lava...

I'm not sure why, but for the past week I've really wanted to find some books about volcanoes. Books on the history of them, the way they have impacted certain places, and things like that. Maybe it is because I just finished a...
