Mt. Redoubt volcano update


Here's today's Mt Redoubt volcano update:

It's blowing up. The sky is fully black, half the Alaska peninsula has
been obliterated. A big crack formed in the base of the Cook inlet and drained it. The resulting tsunami from the ocean just south of the inlet in an effort to refill it caused a great erosion which took all but 37 sq miles of the Kenai peninsula and washed it into Prince William sound. The moon fell and hit northern Alaska because it lost it's way in all the blackness but Anchorage hasn't been affected as yet.

Wonder what's going to happen tomorrow?

How to get a government bailout



First you must put aside any and all morals you've ever had. Then form a corporation and make all kinds of promises you never plan on keeping. Then, when things get a little tough tell them that you meant to do all those things but your hands were tied because you didn't pay someone enough money to overlook your lack of morals. They'll then start to feel sorry for you, give you another chance, give you a comforting pat on the top of your head and shell out a bunch of money into your bank account without asking you what you're going to do with it.


Now you have plenty of money to hand out to yourself for all kinds of parties, spas, bonuses, etc. to keep your conscience masked so you don't get depressed.

Out of the mouths of babes

Or in this case my 7 yr old.

"I like horses"
I know you do
"They're animals and I like animals."
yep
"And we're animals too"
um, yes, we're human animals.
"And we're chickens too"
huh?
"We're chickens"
No, we're humans.
"Then we're human chickens."
Hmm, how's that?
"Because when the bears cook us we taste like chicken"
whew, well, laugh, ok.
"See?"
I Love you.
"I love you too"
"Gute Nacht"
Gute Nacht
"träum was Schönes."
träum was Schönes auch.
