Volcano Discovered in Los Padres National Park!!!

[pryomoax]

I love abusing the gullibility of people; Alissa called me up this morning to ask why there was ash falling from the sky and I couldn't resist! Since she's just moved she does not have access to internet or any news broadcasting medium and so was in the proverbial dark. I ceased the oppitunity to tell her that one of the three dormant volcanoes in Los Padres (of which there are none!) erupted, although it was a small eruption causing no significant damage yet, it caused the ash to spill out into the sky. I followed; Venture county was on evacuation alert (which is actually true.) Her first reaction was "you're full of shit" but adding the right details married with actually events provide a story that would slip past her mental checkpoint and into reality.

Ah, you got'ta love her!
