Just make sure that cork is bio-degradable. We don't want you cluttering up the landscape with materials that are not local!

Cover of today's Anchorage Daily News is concerned with an oil terminal, complete with large tank, that is at the base of Mt. Redoubt. Back in the comparatively innocent days of '89 it was publicly available information that the tank was full, and it was determeined to get it empty and shut down local oil platforms during the height of volcanic activity. The situation is no longer public knowledge attributed to Homeland Security rules, so we have to trust to the competence of our public officials and alert executives.

I'm not worried. Really, I'm not worried...
