Fire and Ash
So that volcano in Iceland is still erupting leaving air travellers stranded in airports all over the world. I’m just letting you know in case you haven’t been watching the news. Goodness knows I haven’t. I didn’t even realize this eruption thing was still an issue until I was in church in Sunday and this situation was mentioned in the opening prayer.
I can’t even image how those poor stranded people must feel. If I have more than a 3-hour layover in an airport I start to loose my mind. This has been going on for days and days now. When I asked my husband how long volcanoes usually erupt he said, “Sometimes they erupt for years.” Suddenly I felt really stranded too.
I think those stranded air travellers should band together and use their creative ingenuity and know-how to build a vehicle out of luggage carts to cross the continent. The travelers that have to cross the seas should strap their luggage together Joe-Versus-the-Volcano-style and sail across. I mean that’s what I would do. It’s the next logical step, isn’t it? It worked for Joe.
All the news reports keep referring to this volcano as the volcano in Iceland or the Icelandic volcano. It made me wonder if it had a name so I looked it up and found out why they called it that. Does anyone know how to pronounce Eyjafjallajökull?
