For those of you who thrive on things to worry about...

Here's a perfect opportunity to get VERY VERY worried.

Yup I know, this is a bit off-topic, Buuutttt...you've read about the recent earthquakes they've been having in California the past few days? What hasn't gotten much attention are the recent sharp increase in the number and intensity of the earthquakes in Yellowstone.

If you don't know, the entire Yellowstone National Park area is referred to as a massive supervolcano, and the increase of seismic activity has scientists extremely worried about a huge blowout.

The concern I have is that Aaron Doud, myself and Claude Whitacre are in the direct line of any ash cloud/plume that would result - heading east. Who knows, we may need to relocate back to North Carolina to get south of it. Or better yet, go live with Ewen in New Zealand.

What's a little ash??? Have a happy Monday and a really great week everybody!

    Claude would not leave ... He would get rich selling
    his new and improved ash cleaning vacuum model. ( Ash Kicker 2000 )

    I would get rich because I would sell them a broom and shovel first.
    and then sell the names of the people I sold too ... to Claude

      2000 years from now archeologists from the InterGalactic University (IGU - lousy football team btw) will be excavating a part of the planet formerly known in ancient times as Ohio, and come across the mummified remains of a short, heavy-set, balding man standing on what appears to be the threshold of a doorway, holding a strange machine in one hand, and a vacuum cleaner wand in the other...completely buried in volcanic ash.

      Depressing to think some grad student will attempt to describe our civilization based on this sole discovery.

        Now that Claude has invested his money proving there is a market
        for this new type of vacuum cleaner, I'd come in
        and create a whole new category of vacuum cleaners.

        I'd research how damaging the volcanic dust is to our lungs.
        Looking for how small the particles are.

        Then find out how fine the fabric of Claude's
        dust holder is.

        Use that info. to demonstrate how these killer particles can get through those bags and inhaled causing you a slow painful death.

        Ewen's dust catcher is patented so what goes in stays in,

        Thanks Claude!

        Best,
        Ewen

          and when you were done proving things.

          I would make a deal with you and aaron and claude.

          Turn it into a turnkey business in a box ... with pimped out RV's

          Parcel up the area and sell exclusive "rights for each vendor"
          any and all equipment, vehicles, advertising would have to be purchased through us.

          ... and if you were falling short in gross sales ... we have the right to
          resell your area

          Bamm. We would all be on the cover of forbes or in jail within a year.

                Actually Ken, being the face of 'Ash Kicker Industries' seems like it could be a bit problematic, with a downside associated with it perhaps??

                And yeah, I'm picturing myself on a big 'Ash Kicker' yacht with babes and drinks, and an occassional stop by 'Dr. Evil Ewens' hidden estate.

                In the meantime, back to my web-dev and marketing projects.

                Deep sigh....

    As much as I hate the long winters here in Upstate New York, I'm always thankful that we don't have any substantial worry of hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes, scorpions, mudslides, volcanoes, wildfires, etc.

    LMAO never would have expected this to be about Yellow Stone based on the title.

    Just to put you at ease. Those that die in the initial eruption are the lucky ones. The North American bread basket would be trashed. The world would be too cold to grow food. And the human population would fall into chaos. We wouldn't be able to feed our current population so it would be every man for himself after a few weeks if not sooner. Honestly those most likely to survive are those who start thinking every man for himself from the moment they hear about it. Get your guns, get your men, and bunker down to the survive the fall of man.

    Now the bad news. I'm the furthest west of the 3 of us and I am 99% sure based on previous yellow stone eruption ash fields that I would survive the initial eruption. So see you all after the apocalypse.

      Hey Aaron, if anything happens, and you're honestly fearing for your life, give me and Claude a quick call and let us know if we need to run for it, or if we'll be ok. Thanks.
