Eyjafjallajökull top ten significant things

  1. Looks awesome
  2. Reduces emissions (assuming this is accurate)
  3. Red sunsets (allegedly – it’s been cloudy  here evenings, and the one evening it wasn’t, I forgot and watched TV)
  4. A sky without airplanes is weirdly cool
  5. Hasn’t killed too many people yet, as I understand
  6. Not as scary as Katla.
  7. Fun to watch news announcers say, “Icelandic volcano” instead of trying to say the name.
  8. Has trapped my wife in Japan for at least another week.
  9. Makes me feel old when I talk about “the eruption of Mt. St. Helens back in 1980″
  10. Makes Reykjavik look easy to spell.
