Iliamna today

I've posted pictures of the volcanoes across the inlet from the village before.  Augustine is spitting a little bit on an almost daily basis, but the other two haven't shown much energy until today.  Iliamna and Redoubt are both spitting steam today which just may be improving my memory.  I'm remembering all of the little earthquakes we've had in the region over the last few months and the news broadcast stating they were observing Iliamna closely for the possibility of increased activity that aired about a month ago.  I'm such a geology nerd that I'm finding it all very cool and exciting.  They'll probably not do anything more than spit some steam, but we're far enough away to be safe if they decide to get a little more enthusiastic.  Volcanic ash wreaks havoc on plane engines making flight impossible and many still remember the total stand-still that occurred several years ago with the last major eruption.  Seeing as we are a fly-in location, that could be very inconvenient.  If we can't get groceries flown in regularly Mike could run out of soda and Rafael could run out of chocolate milk (which is equal in seriousness to Mike's soda problem).  I, however, still have plenty of chocolate and toilet paper, so I'm good whatever comes.
