And remember that you may well be living near something like the Yellowstone Supervolcano or the Campi Flegrei, or within easy mega-tsunami range of Kilauea and Mauna Loa.

The eruption of Vesuvius that destroyed Herculaneum and Pompeii was relatively small potatoes, as was the eruption of Mount St. Helens in 1980.

Just a pleasant thought for the Sabbath.

Now back to eating and drinking and being merry!
