Request, simpering and pleading, as needed

[pecunium]

Mount St. Helens let off a little steam today.

And I want some ash... not much, say 15-25 lbs.

I want it for glazing pots.

So, if anyone is able to get me some, in the next few weeks, before it gets contaminated, I will be more than happy to pay the postage, and some small (or not so small) object of gratitude the other way.

It will probably be ceramic, but maybe not.

If there's a more sincere eruption in the next few weeks, I'm sure your wish will be granted. I was in Connecticut when the mountain blew in 1980. I arrived back in Seattle via Greyhound less than a week after the eruption. As we went across eastern Washington, I kept looking out the window and thinking (in that pre-thought way, ya know?), Snow! Dead snow? Oh: ash.

I've never seen a landscape look so wrong before or since.

I have a black glass vase made from that ash.
