Heh, no worries. I doubt it will do what it did in 1980. There's less of the mountain now. <!--emo&:P--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' /><!--endemo--><br>

If it blows up again, I'm getting mask (to protect me from dust) and go out making dust angels.
