It's not doubtful now

Mount Redoubt finally erupted! It's been restless since at least January. It started erupting last night at 10:38 PM and it stopped at 4:30 AM, but at 7:41 PM today it erupted again. It's erupted six times so far. So mom couldn't go to Anchorage..all flights between Anchorage and Fairbanks were canceled (ash is very unsafe to fly in). The ash has got as far as Denali National Park. It MIGHT get to Fairbanks if the wind is right. Drift Glacier on the volcano is melting. *sniff* Here's the Redoubt webcam if you'd like to look (though it's getting dark now so you should probably look at it tomorrow): http://www.avo.alaska.edu/webcam/Redoubt_-_Hut.php. How exciting! The volcanic stuff in the air might give us sweet purple sunsets..I saw it before when another Alaskan volcano erupted

Greenie: One of the less derogatory terms for an environmentalist. Other nicknames include bunny hugger, tree hugger and posy sniffer. Greenies believe that no road in Alaska is so useful that the state wouldn't be better off without it
