Yikes this is kind of scary considering it's sitting on a super volcano, hasn't blown for about 600,000 years and it blows about every 600,000 years! http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/bestoftv/2011/01/27/am.kaku.volcano.cnn?hpt=C2
If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

I got visions of Woody Harrelson acting like a crazy lunatic radio DJ in 2012 after seeing that.

"You know, Scott. I've been a frickin' evil doctor for 30 frickin' years, OK? Cut me some frickin' slack. You forget Scott. We're in a volcano. We're surrounded by liquid hot magma." This is really all that any of you need to know about magma. (Movie, anyone? Condello, you're not allowed to play as I'm sure you'll know this right offhand!)

Thanks for the link Scot. At least it's not as sensationalist as the news link I posted and not as doomsdayish.

When this does happen it will effect the entire United States and probably shut down our economy. The projected amounts of ash well out side of the region will be measured in feet according to one scientist's estimate.

I think a disasterous event like that will shut down the world economy, as we know it. For that matter any, simmilar disaster anywere in the world, the economys are so deepended on each other, now days.

We studied them a lot in volcanology when I was in college and went to Valles caldera in NM. Check out the Long Valley one. They think that one could go off before Yellowstone. We also studied a bulge caused by magma in Oregon that may be the site of a new one one day and was the fastest growing one in the '90s.

Amazing how how we think everything is so constant and we're so dammed important when it's not and we aren't. Where I sit typing this there will be a ice 1 mile thick in 15 to 20,000 years. No if ands and butts about it. With the world population continuing to climb there will be major conflict for favorable land at that time. Even GWing will only slow it down at best. The emergence of mankind began during an unusually favorable abnormal time period of weather. It could go back to "normal" at any time.

Yep, we're just a dot on the clock. Think of how long humans have been recording history. That's a very small percentage of how long the earth has been here.

I'm not an animal rights activist by any stretch of the imagination but when someone pumps up how superior the human race is to other creatures I ask them the following: If you had to spend time next to a dog that hadn't bathed for months or a human being that didn't, which would you choose? Years ago as a bag boy in a grocery store we had a mentally ill guy that came in that never bathed. I have yet to smell anything that bad, and his smell stayed in the air where ever he had stood. I now know why the native Americans wanted the White settler traders to bath before they came in to their villages. The native Americans were hunters and couldn't hunt effectively smelling that bad. In my novel that deals with time travel I'm going to humorously deal with that as humans haven't been bathing with soap that long. I understand dumping on cologne or perfume was the way to deal with it not long ago.

I heard this bit of information the other day: If the earth's life was compressed into one year, then humans would have been around for 2 seconds....
Just do it...

I saw another estimate on how long we've been here vs. the dinosaurs. If it was based on a calendar year the dinosaurs had been here from January to September while we have only been here from December 31st to the New Year!

I guess I better hurry up if I want to see Yellowstone before the scenery changes. Not much reason to worry about things we can't change, but it is interesting to ponder how small we are as a force in the universe.

You reminded me of the "Old Man of the Mountain" over in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. We took 'em for granted and he's gone now. At least I got to see him a couple of times.
