It Go Boom!
If you had only paid more taxes to "Save The Planet"™
The Krasheninnikov volcano, located on Russia’s far eastern Kamchatka Peninsula, sent ash 6 kilometers, or 3.7 miles, into the sky. A 7.0-magnitude earthquake accompanied the eruption. The plume is spreading eastward from the volcano toward the Pacific Ocean. This is the first historically confirmed eruption of the Krasheninnikov volcano in 600 years. It has been said that the amount of ash blown into the sky is the equivalent to the exhaust of a large diesel pickup.

In my younger days when I still lived "east", I found myself taking odd roads into odd places. One of those places was off I-64/US60 in eastern Kentucky known for a region of accessible caves. This took me off the beaten path along which I passed this building in Wesleyville.
I don't do caves anymore ...
Wesleyville is listed as a "populated" place but I found no other evidence of a "town" - or even hamlet - at this location other than this building alongside a narrow road heading up into a "holler". When I took this photo, I didn't know it was the heart of "town" - there is no town, at least not when I passed by.
From this image, it appears the building no longer exists.
This structure was a church, school, and meeting hall - possibly all at the same time - and was built sometime around 1882. It is possible the building also held the post office and local "emporium". Locals told me of "pie suppers" being held in this building as late as the 1940s.
The building was locked when I discovered it but peering through cracks, the floor was in bad shape and the roof obviously leaked. There was no glass in the boarded up windows and no furniture or furnishings. Snakes, possums, coons, and skunks were likely inhabitants.
Imagine the stories if only the walls could talk.
