Reports today of a new volcano eruption in Hawaii. An air quality advisory has been issued for the western United States. Some of the pictures are spectacular, and scientists believe that a new island is in the process of being formed.

I can see!

I awoke this morning to nothing so much as peace ... and when I opened my eyes, I could see - through an unsharp lens, yes, but it felt secure and strong. A wi-fi signal at 80%, but that signal is going nowhere.

I also found a shapeless brown cloak in my closet, a cloak I know is the signature dress of the Order. Our Order. I dreamt of teaching younger Jedi, with what they called my 'conundrums' - questions of the Force that at first had no answer, but the best and brightest came to the answers on their own.

I apologize for my airy-fairy descriptions of fancy, but I feel lighter, somehow - to be able to see again, and to know that I am not in fact going mad, that this really might have been me in another life, is very liberating. It has been some time since I felt a sense of purpose.

>> You should stay home today.
>> That doctor on the net.
>> I don't want you to put yourself in danger.
>> Not for me.

>> Do you want to come over?
>> Before it gets too bad to travel
>> And you know. In case we need to beat things up together.

>> I know things are going crazy outside
>> But if you have any time or can get here safely
>> I'd really like a God damn hug

...Hi.

>> Uhm.
>> My Dad is on high alert.
>> This weather might get bad.
>> Like dangerous stuff bad.
>> You should stay safe.

You saw Star Trek Into Darkness right?

The FCC has grounded all flights west of Denver.

>> Stay inside.
>> There's craziness out there.
>> I'm staying at Stark. I've got a sleeping bag. I'm not leaving my office until this is over.

Creatures have been identified attacking civilians. They're humanoid in appearances and using crude swords and armor. Some have crossbows and more advanced weapons.

There's also been a report of something about four meters tall and nearly as wide. Go into full defense and coverup mode.

>> Do you suppose a volcano is just like a sauna for peeps like us?
>> That's right.
>> I said peeps.

>> I'll be home in a couple of minutes.
>> I'll put impervious charms on the windows and doors so the ash won't come inside the house.
>> My garden is going to take a beating again.

>> It looks like they're grounding all the flights.
>> Or... I got a phonecall, at least.
>> I'm not sure my plane is taking off tomorrow.
>> Is everything okay over there?

>> Are you inside somewhere safe?

>> Hey.
>> Do you and your grandmother have everything you need?
>> This stuff could last for a couple days.
>> If you need something, let me know.

>> He's here, in my house.
>> Even after the news said to stay inside, he just had to come over here.
>> Now he's got to stay here.
>> He has to stay here, in my house for however long this poor air quality confinement thing is.
>> I wish I could come over there.

>> Are you alright?
>> I mean, I don't think you're out there amongst all that falling ash, but I just wanted to check in.

[Samwise]
>> First and foremost, are you safe?
>> I think this volcano
>> I can not even say it

>> It's alarming how badly I want to get my bow from my closet.
>> And live up to all the dream potential.
>> I'm relying on you to talk me down from the ledge.

>> I made it.
>> Certainly one of my worst decisions of my life.
>> I'm sure you were very concerned.
