Fine. Mention ice cream after the Trader Joe's across the street
closes for the day.

Unless I've mis-Googled, this is Mt St Helens from Ed Carlson ?

OK, I'll take a partial on that.....it's Chehalis-Centralia. Looks
like a
very nice corner of the planet too.

Here is St Helens from about five miles away, during the 2005
dome-building eruption.

And another from July 1980 during one of its secondary burps after
"The Big One" of May 18, 1980. This one was taken from 100 miles
away, and not an inch too far.

That must have been a life-changing event. I should pay more
attention to volcanoes.

Mount Saint Helens sand-blasted my car, parked outside the quarters some
2,000 Km away in Shilo, Manitoba.
