I learned something today! There’s a scale that rates volcanic eruptions 0-8, similar to the hurricane, tornado or earthquake scale.

The Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) is a relative measure of the explosiveness of volcanic eruptions. It was devised by Chris Newhall of the United States Geological Survey and Stephen Self at the University of Hawaii in 1982.

Sipping scotch by the fire watching it rain. My kid is here for a few days so that’s nice
5:42PM Sassy
Hiya!  The Northerner is so sweet.  Not so talented in bed, but I got a massage.  And he brought pizza.  : ) 
5:44PM Phil
Sweet is good though. Nice to be treated like a queen occasionally. 
How is Hubby doing?
I’m gonna be in New England in March. Wanna grab a lobster one evening?
5:50PM Sassy
Hubby is doing well!  He can’t do a lot, but he is getting out, working on a project.
Lobster sounds great!
