Odd but GOOD News...

Reaching more than 14,000 feet above sea level, Mt. Shasta dominates the landscape of high plains and conifer forests in far Northern California.

While it's not California's tallest mountain, the tongues of ice creeping down Shasta's volcanic flanks give the solitary mountain another distinction. Its seven glaciers, referred to by American Indians as the footsteps made by the creator when he descended to Earth, are the only historical glaciers in the continental U.S. known to be growing.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

ACK! All my post-whoring today and I never looked at my 'home' page to see I nearly missed wishing salacious_pop a fantabulous birthday!

Having just read an account of said birthday I think it was both fantabulous and scandalous; just as birthdays SHOULD be!
