Best to you, your family and your readers.
Tip line: have to keep an eye on Koryaksy volcano on Kamchatka. It's a Decade Volcano and could threaten Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy.
when you get a chance, would like to know what you think about the swarm of shallow earthquakes accuring under yellowstone lake over the last few days.
