And to think the director to the NSA happened to send an encrypted email to
an unknown party with the State of Alaska the day before Redoubt
erupted-which happened to be no less than 3.14 days before this error
message popped up on our mailing list...coincidence?

"Listen to me! When you die in Alaska you die in real life!"
"Change before you have to"
"If you want to build a ship
don't herd people together to collect wood
and don't assign them tasks and work,
but rather teach them to long for the
endless immensity of the sea."
