I couldn't agree more. Just fly around or below the goddamn ash clouds - it's not like you can't see them. AFAIK it's only bad for jet engines and wouldn't even effect propeller aircraft or dirigibles (I knew it was a mistake to abandon dirigibles. Now there was an elegant mode of air travel).

Never mind the fact that clouds carrying dust particles can disperse and spread further.

The country that gave the world Bjork? They have geothermal power plants and a lesbian prime minister. They're going to become a data haven, it looks awesome. I wish this country only had 300000 people in it.

Never underestimate my level of general recklessness. The number of hazardous substances I've dealt with without masks, gloves and goggles is many. Hell, my dad showed me that you could wash spray paint off your hands with petrol when I was about twelve. These things have never had any discernible effect.

Have they?

Saw this earlier, though I'd show you all, it's from the Norwegian meteorological institute

Black = Areas where the particles are expected to reach the ground by itself.
Red = Areas where particles are expected to reach the ground through weather.
 
You know i've been thinking there's been too much dust lately. God damn the Iceland, if it isn't their Bjork now it's their volcanoes

Isn't that what everybody does ? I've only came to know there was these lovely rubber gloves to deal with cleaning after my cleaner actually demanded some.
