Yes ... I have an opinion

Those that know me ... seem to love me, well ... I'm pretty sure my two sons do and in all honesty, I believe I leave most everyone else somewhat baffled. It's a fine art which has taken years to perfect ... but like a fine wine ... both myself and the attitude that comes with me, are now aged to perfection. I do try to stay alert ... as the world needs more lerts and I have also learned that two wrongs don't make a right, but three rights ... make a left.

Sunday, March 21, 2010 - The Iceland volcano eruption started just past midnight Iceland time and took the form of smoke and lava being thrust through the surface of the Eyjafjallajökul Glacier, southern Iceland. The location of the eruption, beneath a glacier, is doubly troubling as there are now fears of floods if the eruption continues and ice continues to melt.

The eruption is a small one,” said Agust Gunnar Gylfason, a risk analyst at the Civil Protection Department. “An eruption in and close to this glacier can be dangerous due to possible flooding if the fissure forms under the glacier,” he said. “That is why we initiated our disaster response plan.” Authorities evacuated hundreds of people after a volcano erupted beside a glacier in southern Iceland, Iceland’s civil protection agency said Sunday, but there were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.

This is the first eruption since 1821 for this volcano. Scientists admit that there was little warning of an eruption, all the more proof that one can never be too complacent with nature.
