Volcano Vs Money

“If you’re going to live on planet earth,” my granddad recently said, shaking his fist at me in that way that meant ’Where’s the tea? Your Grandmother’s late, again!'“the best advice I can give is don’t use those rubbish barbecues, them ones that aren’t gas, the gas ones are much better and more thoroughly cook the meat—“

“Yes Granddad,” I said, “but get to the point, yeah?”

“—Hold your horses my son!”

“Horses held…”

“And don’t build your village at the bottom of a volcano. Have you heard about this ash debacle?”

I said I had, and that it was just something that happened, couldn’t be helped. Then, Granddad went in to a huge rant about how it could be helped, how volcanoes have it in for mankind, and how much money it was costing the economy.

Granddad, as you can see, is the voice of the Nation.

Personally, call me old-fashioned, but I still maintain the view-point that it couldn’t be helped–I mean, it’s not as if you can ask a volcano to behave nicely, is it?

The country is in a state because of the volcano (the world is not exactly running smoothly because of it either…) so who do you blame? See another person’s take on this at the following link.

Money, eh? Money and volcanoes just don’t like each other very much. And the Enigin guys are concerned about this, because it all ties in to their energy-saving ethos. Over at their many blogs you can read about all this stuff and more, and from the perspective of real, living, breathing workers of Enigin, too.
