May 17 - Any of you old enough to remember the lengthy watch on Mount St. Helen's? Scientists kept warning she was going to blow and everyone waited and scientists issues the same warning and everyone waited ... and then she blew.

There must be a fair degree of impatience on this volcano watch as well; do it or don't, for crying out loud, so people can either react or get on with their lives.

After the report Monday that volcanic activity was at it's highest level things seemed to quiet down but today another cloud of hot air and ash was released.

Some residents have not yet left the mountainside which brings up the same Katrina question many of us asked ourselves: would you leave or stay?

Perhaps more relevant is the Mt. Rainier question, as the Seattle metropolitan area sits next to that volcano.

Mother Nature is not, despite the popular saying, a bitch. She is all woman and reserves the right to change her mind.
