A Sense of Doubt blog post #1549 - Throwback Thursday on Saturday 1905.18
39 years ago, Mt. St. Helens erupted. I watched the news coverage of the event, which seemed otherworldly to an eighteen-year-old like me, home from school with mono, and living in Michigan, which has no mountains or volcanoes.
Now that I live near Mt. St. Helens, I have visited it many times, the memorial museum, watched documentaries, and enjoy looking at the now flat-topped peak as often as the weather allows.
Today's Throwback was delayed a few days to memorialize the anniversary of the eruption.
The rest is the usual jumble, hodge podge, gallimaufry.

also, ABOUT Keith Ron Holm, the video doesn't make clear if he got away. He did.

"It's very hard to take your eyes off this phenomenon. It's a fascinating event," Ronnholm said.
But when the pyroclastic surge broke over a nearby ridge "like a wave would break over a breakwater," it was time to go, he said.
Ronnholm sped out of Bear Meadow and made his way several miles down a Forest Service road before he thought he was safe. Hearing crashes in the brush, he stepped out to take a look, thinking it might be animals fleeing the blast.
"I very quickly realized it was the sounds of rocks falling through the trees," Ronnholm said. "I backpedaled to the car with my hands over my head. As I started driving away, there were rocks bouncing off the hood and off the windshield."
Then the mud came raining down, thick and viscous, and Ronnholm used his snow scraper to keep the windshield clear.
At some point, he was overtaken by a logging truck, which he followed into the town of Randle, onto Highway 12 and beyond.
"I just kept going," he said.

We're celebrating #MaytheFourth with one of our favorite deep-sea creatures, Osedax jabba. These unusual bone-eating worms were named after Jabba the Hutt because scientists thought that the trunk of the new species resembled the tail of the mythical Star Wars creature. 🚀💫 pic.twitter.com/PxrZqkqnpb— MBARI (@MBARI_News) May 4, 2019

- Days ago = 1414 days ago
- New note - On 1807.06, I ceased daily transmission of my Hey Mom feature after three years of daily conversations. I plan to continue Hey Mom posts at least twice per week but will continue to post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.
