Sanny Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Hey, Dennis! Welcome back home. Were the landslides of the past week near your place? Hope all are well. And you've not clued us in on the mud volcano lately. Did the cement pearls the dropped into it make any difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope all are well. And you've not clued us in on the mud volcano lately. Did the cement pearls the dropped into it make any difference? I was gone three weeks to the day and that's much too long to be away from my two year old little girl. But the love, attention and affection I'm getting 'cause she missed me is almost worth it. Daddy has been King last few days.. Yes, east Java is where a lot of the flooding and landslides have been. My house boy's village was under up to 6 meters of water. They think it's because the teak forest around that area was stolen in 97-98 when the country was lawless as ex-pres Suharto was thrown out. The mud volcano is still pumping out over 100,000 m3 of mud a day. The courts here decided to reject the lawsuit and the company drilling the well fined $110. The judges ruled that the mudflow was a purely natural phenomenon. Here is a site that has lots of info and shots http://mudflow-sidoarjo.110mb.com/index.htm Here is a site that has a flash satellite image that is Navigat-able and zoom-able.

His family is ok, and not under all the water? Guess the pearls didn't work, huh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
