Code Orange!

Redoubt eruption in the early 90's.


I decided to write a blog from work, because our internet at home doesn't work (again) and there's nothing else to do. Mt Redoubt has been threatening to erupt for the last week or so. If it did and the winds were blowing the right direction apparently Anchorage could be covered in quite a nasty fog of ash. This triggored the IT department to worry so we're now supposed to cover our computers with plastic bags while we're not using them. Neil is picking some air masks up for us. They're giving them out 2 per person.
Neil in his new mask.


I was worried that Banjo would get black lung (since we're only alloted 2 masks) but, aparently they do make little chambers to go around the kennels to protect the dog's airspace. That's the most rediculous thing I've heard of all day.
Making blogs at work is fun!

You have a little bit of your father in you. Glad the taxpayer's dollar is put to good use in Alaska too. Glad you are taking this all seriously. Wouldn't want anything to happen to my grandbaby. Keep up the good work. Mom

It's about commercial fishing in Egegik, a small village in Alaska.
