S~ All,
Deal'n Dave and family are doing well. The volcano has been pesky for a couple of days now, but we are in good shape. My brother and his family are here and we're showing them an exciting time. :) The lava is still flowing about 20 miles from where I live, however YESTERDAY, we were sitting on the rock wall at the Kilauea volcano observatory when the 6.9 earthquake hit ... now that was exciting ... smoke and ash running ram pit. :)
Thus far there are 10 active fissures that have opened in the effected area and quite a few homes have burned down as the lava is running through them. Two neighborhoods have been evacuated due to the poisonous sulfuric gas. We get whips of sulfur smell where we live but just very faint. So at this time we are not being threatened in any way from Pele's rumblings (Pele is a goddess of fire, lightning, dance, volcanoes and violence).
I hope to be flying with you all on Tuesday. :) Thanks for your thoughts and prayers. all is very much appreicated !!!
Sincerely,
Dave Humphrey

20 miles sounds kinda safe and at the same time kinda close when the words erupting volcano is included.
good luck, Dave.
those steaks look like they've got some quality marbling going on.
These pics are from my front yard ... Fissure #8, Volcanic Glow :) Sorry wish I had a better camera.

Surreal, terrifying, and beautiful ... all at the same time. :)
This Pele guy sounds like a dick.
~S~ Dave I hope fissure 8 is kind to you and leaves your home alone. I have been watching this unfold each day it seems 8 is going to be the new cone. That is some footage they show in the news of the spray holy cow. A bucket list of mine is to witness an eruption, though I am sorry it is so close to you and yours.

Thank you Lippy for your concern, the eruption is about 15-20 miles to the east of our house and we are safe. The flow from the eruption is flowing to the east into the ocean, away from our place.
Unfortunately or fortunately, depending on your point of view, the authorities have closed off any access to the eruption area, only the media and emergency folks are allowed anywhere close to the eruption area.
