Oh, and let's not forget Mt. St. Helens. Sure, today's eruption was minor, but this kind of thing always interests me. I can still remember the big eruption back in 1980. I made a side trip there in the early nineties on the way back from Seattle. It was steaming a bit, and there were miles of flattened trees dotted here and there with the rusted remains of cars whose owners didn't move them (or themselves) in time.

There were signs warning visitors not to pick pumice.
