Tongariro Erupts

Mt Tongariro has erupted. Minor, and short-lived, but the crossing will be closed. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10849028

Must google it, Westwood. Watched an amazing program on the progress of the Japanese Tsunami on commercial TV last night. fascinating reporting of individual's reactions to the unfolding tsunami situation and later feelings. JoyV

Theres definitely something going on under Ruapehu - having spent last night with a bunch of Geologists, Soil Scientists and Volcanologists at my father in laws retirement party i would say that i am now an expert!

Are you still here - assumed you loved WOS so much that you'de retire when it died. Surely no other branch will have you? Is Stress still alive too?

Yes, I'm not going anywhere soon. I'm laid up. Got a new knee for Crimbo. You're all stuck with me.

Is Stress still alive?

I sincerely hope so. Where would you turn to find another wholefully entertaining mutant like that. There's a rumour that local people of indigenous persuasion have placed a land claim on the land where his live in bus shelter is situated on Parramatta Rd. Which is nice.
