SOS

Aloha: I received an inquiry at my elemakule_tutu e-mail address about SOS. SOS mean "same old stuff". Here is how it is stated on the HVO website. "Activity Summary for past 24 hours: Kilauea volcanic activity continued at two locations. At the summit, a circulating and spattering lava surface was visible in a deep pit inset within the floor of Halema`uma`u Crater and produced glow that was visible from the Jaggar Museum. At the east rift zone vents, lava flowed through tubes and fed slowly advancing surface flows above the pali. Sulfur dioxide emission rates from both summit and east rift zone vents remained elevated." As you can see, SOS is a lot shorter. The website goes into more detail about deflation/inflation events; tephra; RB2S2BL quakes; SO2 production, maybe another 3 paragraphs. Like I said, SOS is shorter and a whole lot less boring.

Our favorite "Blatherskite" is now blovlating on the tube. He has the French president in the US for a dinner this week. Too bad it is too early for reruns of "Bones".

Today started out dark and drab, but now the sun is out and it is going to be another fantastic day in paradise! Methinks I should go out under the trees and breath in all the brand new air. May God bless and keep all of you safe.

Is "blathererskate" another mane for Obama? How does one "bloviate"? What is "bones"? So many questions and no answere.

Answers for anonymous by anonymous:

1) If your question was meant to say "name" instead of "mane", the answer is yes, based on the perception of the blogger.

2) To bloviate is to speak loudly, verbosely, and at great length, without saying much.

3) Bones is an American crime drama television series that premiered on the Fox Network on September 13, 2005. The show is based on forensic science, with each episode focusing on an FBI case file concerning the mystery behind human remains brought by FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth to the forensic anthropology team of Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan. Emily Deschanel stars in the title role, along with David Boreanaz as Special Agent Seeley Booth.
