I am Alan Booth, an ordinary British Man . I'm not one of the famous people that have the same name as me, just an ordinary guy. Welcome to my main blog, a true reliable record of history from the perspective of an ordinary man, a place filled with my thoughts; perhaps my thoughts will persist longer on here than in my brain itself. My twitter I.D. is @alspresso.
A volcano exploded the other day on a small island in New Zealand. It killed some people but it didn't mean to. The volcanoes spew out material and that is what they do.
I feel pity for the families of the people that were killed.
The Irony is that volcanoes are one of the things that give life in this world. They are a part of the carbon cycle and help keep the cycle going by freeing co2 from rocks below, they also create land from the ocean which is needed for terrestrial life.
August 2026 was very hot and dry, we had a series of heat waves and a prolonged drought that persisted until the last few days of the month....
