Now, overnight we have a new eruption within Halemaʻumaʻu crater at Kīlauea’s summit on the big island of Hawaii.
Hot lava is even bubbling out of fissures in the crater wall.
Plus, it's fun to try to pronounce "Halem'uma'u" like a real Hawaiian.
It's something like "Ha -lay Maw-OO Maw-OO...," with extreme exaggeration of the spaces between the syllables. Practice by turning to someone who isn't expecting anything and announce, "there's a new volcanic eruption occurring now in the Ha-lay Mah-OO Mah-OO caldera," and see what happens.
Things don't look too good. The Earth Gods are angry and since Chelsea Clinton got married, we've run out of virgins to appease them.
ReplyDeleteNavajo sounds like two thirds of a syllable, pause, two thirds of a syllable, pause
ReplyDeleteNavajo words spelled out have an apostrophe about every third letter. It's like roll call in an alien school in a bad science fiction novel.
We have not had eruptions in 4.5 billion years, so it is either Climate Change or Trump, or both, that caused this.
ReplyDeleteYou dorealize that you never should have posted those pictures of dormant volcanoes in the PNW?
ReplyDeleteHo wow! You're right! He did that! And Mt Rainier is right over there (pointing in that direction)...
DeleteYou'll noticed he didn't put any pictures of HIS dormant volcano up? :-)
I had to look, as of 19 Aug 2021 there were 50 volcanoes erupting...
"...the bird is the word
ReplyDeleteDoing the bird
Papa-oo-moh-moh,
Papa-oo-moh-moh!"
My wife just thought I had a stroke when I tried to pronounce that word.
