The First Eruption

I need to stop this and get back to writing. However, in my defense, it's a better and saner way to goof off than reading political and economic blogs, which is what I usually do.

Most volcanic eruptions cause a lot less harm than the US Senate (to give one example) and are more interesting and lovelier. Look at the photo above and then look at a US senator. Which gives you more of a sense of awe and wonder and delight?
