of course global temps can be affected. Pop off a few nukes

I'd rather wait for the next volcano to erupt. Less political ...fallout.

Glad you added the "political" to that. One in the Snake River Valley
deposited ash something like 12 to 15 feet deep clear over in kansas.
Now that is a *lot* of fallout:-))

Roger, you're older than I thought!!

There's a few of us on here than have been accused of being older'n
dirt.:-))

BTW, if you look at the US map on the "Weather Channel" you can see a
"smiley" across Utah with the upper right end going into NW Wyoming.
That's the Snake River Basin/Valley. Apparently that is the path
followed by the "hot spot" that now feeds Yellowstone. Currently they
figure the magma chamber is about 50 KM long by 20 or 30 wide by6 or 7
thick. If I recall correctly one estimate put the volume of the
chamber at 20,000 to 3,000 cubic miles. That'd make more of a mess
than the tree full of Gold Finches out front of the house.

However I do need to either wear a rain jacket, carry an umbrella, or
fill the feeders after dark. I counted 30 on the ground, 10 in the
bird bath and 10 plus on each of the two feeders. They wouldn't hold
still long enough for me to count how many were in the tree. I'm
going through 10# of thistle seed every 4 days. It'd be pretty if
they had their summer colors.

Of course the cats have this all figured out so when I let them out in
the morning they head right for the big living room window where they
take up residence waiting for the dumb ones to fly into the window,
knock themselves out and instant fresh meat with no work.

Why are those three cats lined up under your living room window?
They're waiting for lunch. Lunch? Yup and they are well fed
too.:-)) Darwinism at its best.

I gotta get a picture of that to put up on my page.
