Imagine your driving along and you look in your rear view mirror only to discover a giant dark menacing ash cloud that looks as if it's coming straight out of hell to collect your pitiful soul. Well that's just what happened to me Saturday night. Mt. Redoubt blew once again which had already been doing the past few days, still we were hopeful that the ash cloud would be blown the other direction as it had been doing. Believe me it was a little frightening to everyone in Anchorage. The airport shut down, as did the mall and many other businesses that feared damage to their electronics and such. We hunkered down for the night and watched through the window as the ash piled onto our car and turned the snow gray. The air smelled of sulfur and was as thick as pea soup. This was definitely up there on my list of freaky weird days.

What?! No lava? Softy...
it freezes, this is Alaska you know
Yeah, uh huh, frozen lava is called ROCK.
What a cool visual. Snow mixed with ash. I picture something that looks looks like a protein shake running in the gutters. And if it froze on the streets, it'd be like a frosty. Mmmmm, frosty...
it's always about food in this family
