Several years ago just before Mount St. Helens blew her top the Today Show had a different guest on each day to say what MIGHT happen if Mount St. Helens blew. I was working morning control room duty in an NBC affiliate at the time so I had no choice but to watch Tom Brokaw interview these guys. I remember our crew's amusement when the guest of the day exactly 180 degrees contradicted the guest from the day before and Brokaw just kept asking straight questions like he'd never even heard the first guy's comments. In fact, a couple of days later the mountain blew BIG TIME. None of the screwey stuff either one of those guys predicted happened. I suspect if Yellowstone goes super nova Wyoming and Montana will sustain some serious damage and crop growing conditions for some distance could be impacted. Beer drinkers take note: Much of the hops for Coors is grown by tea totaling Mormon Farmers in Northern Wyoming. If Yellowstone goes you might have to switch to Budweiser. If you're looking for an interesting conversation piece on a layout and you live nowhere near Wyoming or Montana but model the Union Pacific or BN one of those very conventional looking grain elevators lettered "Coors" instead of CO-OP or "Smith Grain Company" might be interesting. The first time I drove through that area I had to ask why Coors would own grain elevators. Might get some interestering questions from your visiting observers. Cheers, Ed Cheers, Ed
