Cheery Thought of the Day: Tornadoes, Hurricanes or Volcanoes, It's All the Same


The 4th most dangerous volcano in the U.S.


Of the eighteen most dangerous volcanoes, half of them are situated within 500 miles of my home. I live within 150 miles of three of them, and within 50 miles of the 4th most dangerous.

Maybe it's time to move to Montana. But wait, the wildfires. Back to Florida? I don't think I even need to say it.

Back to the Midwest, you say? Yeah, where a tornado decimated TS's daily commute three years ago? (He was home with me and our five-day old son, instead of driving when the tornado hit, as he normally would have been.)

The lesson -- shit happens, everywhere. As Bloggerdad would say, "life is short. Eat dessert first."
