[pdx_life] Volcano DefCon 3

Today as I was rushing back home from school, a nice freeway drive from the lower left corner of town to the center right side, a nice (and somewhat overworked-sounding) lady pre-empted Dr Laura's tearing down of someone on KEX for a special report.

The word is apparently that they are now of the opinon that magma is on the move in Old Saint Helens and that some sort of explosive event is imminent. It is now a Level 2 Volcano Advisory (the scale being 0=All Normal, 1=Something could happen, 2=We think something's gonna happen, 3=We're sure something's about to happen). Since that's the third position on the zero to three list, I call it Volcano DefCon 3.

Not that I could have gotten a snap of it if it had happened. As it occurred, today was a typical Oregon September day. Cloudy. Still is.
