I was living in Anchorage in an apartment off of Muldoon Road, and working slinging popcorn at the Fireweed Theaters. It was a rather muggy, hot day, and I was quite happy to be getting off of work at 6pm that evening. One of the girls I worked with offered me a ride home, and on our way across town, we turned on the radio, anxious to hear about the day's news &mdash; the sudden eruption of Mt. Spurr, a volcano just across Cook Inlet from Anchorage. <a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2004\/07\/28\/ash-to-ash-dust-to-dust\/\">&#x27A1;<\/a><\/span><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2004\/07\/28\/pay-attention-to-the-road-you-idiots\/\">Pay attention to the road, you idiots<\/a> <span class=\"today_excerpt\">Years ago, while driving around Anchorage, I glanced to my right and saw a couple guys driving around with a portable DVD player sitting on the dashboard of their car, quite happily watching a movie as they motored around town. Well, the inevitable has finally happened: two people in Alaska were killed by a driver watching a movie on a dash-mounted DVD player. <a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2004\/07\/28\/pay-attention-to-the-road-you-idiots\/\">&#x27A1;<\/a><\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><strong>2003<\/strong><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2003\/07\/28\/hostages\/\">Hostages<\/a> <span class=\"today_excerpt\">We're now taking hostages, in direct violation of the Geneva Conventions, Protocol 1, Section III, Chapter 1, Article 75, Paragraph 2. <a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2003\/07\/28\/hostages\/\">&#x27A1;<\/a><\/span><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2003\/07\/28\/the-curtain-is-lifting\/\">The curtain is lifting&#8230;<\/a> <span class=\"today_excerpt\">The moment you've all been waiting for is almost upon us!
