New at Rosetta Stones: The Testimony of Vehicles

So I thought I would do a short little aside on vehicles and what happened to them during the lateral blast at Mount St. Helens, only it turned out to be a long big aside and has to be split into two parts. This always happens to me. Here’s part one, wherein we deal with deposits and other sundry effects, and in part two, coming soon, we shall consider heat. This post was a bit gritty and abrasive; I promise the next will be hawt.

    Stop distracting me. I’m supposed to be working. And now all I can think about are those poor damaged vehicles, never to know a second life as somebody’s runabout, because of being too close to a volcano…
    I thought I’d be all smart and try to figure out what that unidentifiable car part was, but no luck. Not much of a car person to begin with, so going right to the difficult puzzles isn’t wise.

    (And… Moment of silence for Reid. Wow. Not a chance. That’s a lot of deposits.)
