2010/30: The Brothers Bishop -- Bart Yates

The Brothers Bishop -- Bart Yates

Love attacks. It sneaks up like a pride of lions or a pack of hyenas and eats your heart out while you watch. Love is the bully on the playground who takes your lunch money and gives you a black eye in return, the arsonist who burns your house down with you in it, the witch who lures you into her house with candy and boils you alive for dinner. Love is raw, and violent, and instantaneous. You don't fall in love; you get trampled by it. (p. 210)

ANIMATION: Volcano ash empties UK airspace

The animated gif is interesting, not least because it shows how busy UK airspace usually is ... covers 5:50am to 6:45am this morning (timestamp lower right).

Watching #ashtag on Twitter, it looks as though there's an emergency evacuation in that corner of Iceland, due to flooding.

Sunset here obscured, as it frequently is, by clouds. Normal ones.
