You know those photos taken right after Mt. St. Helens blew her top? Remember the ones of the trees all bent over as if some giant had "petted" them all down? Well, that's what my eardrum hairs felt like. She's quite awe-inspiring and intimidating, but it still ranks as one of the best concerts I've ever been to. Be prepared for lots of screaming and *STRANGE* music! CD-wise, you might start with "You Must Be Certain Of The Devil" though I can't predict how you'll react when you hear it.

How sad to learn that the most famous bull terrier in North America has passed away. I've had the privilege of living with English bull terriers all my life. They are the most wonderfully loyal and amusing canine companions - and excellent guard dogs. Once you've lived with one you can never imagine owning any other breed of dog.
