#overly literal interpretations #(which then cease to be literal when Google Maps finds only theatres and restaurants *named* after the literal thing) #(but I already knew I wasn’t in a good area for that sort of thing) #(…if you want to define ”good” as *having* that) #fun with google maps #(I actually meant to type just ”maps” there but accidentally hit a previously-used tag I forgot I had) #(which was even more accurate)

euclase2:

Eat your vegetables, drink lots of water, be kind to your neighbors, and keep an eye on your nearest volcano and know what to do when it erupts.

#PSA #though my home is actually very low on the disaster-risk scale #(a scale that is probably measured in deci-Californias) #we don’t have any nearby volcanoes #(we’re even outside the death zone of Yellowstone) #(though I think we are slated to get a noticeable quantity of ash rain) #we’re not prone to floods #we’re not prone to wildfires #all of our earthquakes are of the ‘easily mistaken for a passing train’ variety #we almost never get tornadoes #we only get hurricanes when they’re literally a thousand miles across and strengthened by climate-change-warmed waters #(and even then the power was only out for seventy minutes and as far as I know nobody around here died) #so around here it’s more ‘know what to do when a Buffalo-style massive blizzard hits’ #(we didn’t get hit with the Buffalo blizzard) #(but it’s the sort of thing that could happen) #tag rambles

me: [runs off yelling about pyroclastic flows]
