In the news...or not.

Tungurahua's up to no good.   Not much on it in English, Ecuador's newspapers are reporting that the volcano had a big eruption, leaving at least 1 dead, over a dozen injured, and 60 missing.  Would've been worse but most folks had been evacuated.  Ash is falling on several nearby towns.

Did this make the US news this morning?  Of course not.  I was watching for nearly an hour. Every frickin' cable and network news program was too busy talking about FRICKIN JON-BENET RAMSEY.  They really need to let it go and cover some real news.  Grrrrrrrr.

Edited to add: more info in English available here.
