Rick Posted January 1, 2022 Posted January 1, 2022 A few verses for the beginning of 2022. Ecclesiastes 5:5 “It is better not to vow than to make a vow and not fulfill it.” Isaiah 43:18-19 " 18 “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. 19 See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.

For a look at the opposite, a movie first then a book, there is the great movie "How the West was Won." This was followed the next year by Louis L'Amour's book of the same title. Both are superb.
Ivanhoe Posted January 16, 2022 Posted January 16, 2022 2022 starting off with a bang; https://www.axios.com/tsunami-waves-hit-tonga-volcanic-eruption-8f88a5e3-bb67-4b23-93c2-3d2abc51d20b.html Quote An undersea volcanic eruption near the Pacific nation of Tonga triggered a tsunami warning across the islands and for some parts of Japan on Saturday, AP reports. Quote State of play: The Hunga-Tonga-Hunga-Ha'apai volcano first erupted Friday, sending a plume of ash 12.4 miles into the air, Radio New Zealand reports. There was a second eruption on Saturday at 5:26 p.m. local time, per RNZ. It is the latest in a series of eruptions of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Haʻapai volcano, which is about 40 miles north of the capital. Tonga's King Tupou VI was evacuated from the Royal Palace after the tsunami flooded the capital Nuku'alofa, per RNZ.
sunday Posted January 16, 2022 Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) More pictures: https://matangitonga.to/2022/01/15/tongan-geologists-stunning-Jan14eruptions This one has a certain nuclear mushroom vibe: Edit to add: This has the potential to be the beginning of a series of large eruptions, according to this: Quote It remains unclear if this is the climax of the eruption. It represents a major magma pressure release, which may settle the system. A warning, however, lies in geological deposits from the volcano’s previous eruptions. These complex sequences show each of the 1000-year major caldera eruption episodes involved many separate explosion events. Hence we could be in for several weeks or even years of major volcanic unrest from the Hunga-Tonga-Hunga-Ha'apai volcano. For the sake of the people of Tonga I hope not.
