Hell hath no fury like mother nature's. Seen in the picture above, Eyjafjallajokull, serene, pretty.
When it erupted on 20th March, and then in April/May,
it shook the world. Air transportation was put to a standstill. People everywhere panicked because travel plans were disrupted. Flights were grounded. People were stranded. Airlines lost millions. Businesses were unsettled. And, it is not finished. Recently, it has erupted again, and air traffic controllers are erring on the side of caution, keeping a look out, just in case it decides to play havoc again. Ahh, mother nature. So volatile. As I am writing this, people are talking and questioning if we can leave London tonight. Shifting winds are bringing ash into Britain's airspace. I am indifferent.
