Re: my post yesterday on the "quiet" eruption of Mount St. Helens. I borrowed this shot of Popocatepetl (I love those Nahuatl names - the glottal stops give me chills!) in Mexico from the front page of today's LA Times.
"He taught him horsemanship, archery and how to wield lasso, rein and stirrup, and what and when and how, the rites of of convivial society, of formal ceremony and the symposium; hawking, falconry and how to hunt with the cheetah; what was justice or the lack of it; what the throne and the crown meant; how to deliver orations and how to go to war and lead an army."

Do you think maybe mexico will explode all over this america, and make it a primative, dying, and myan place, so that 2012 can end us all like they said it will, and we can shoot our arrows futily at the massive snake that eats the sun and us?
Or is this just tetonic and nothing to bother with, outside of pretty photos of course?
