First place I saw it was a post here about UK airports being closed!
Despite CNN and Cable, apparently we get even less "real" news in the
U.S. than I realized.

Lock your doors, pull-down your shades, turn off the lights, put the TV
volume down to a very soft whisper and put on the FOX channel:-).

Yep. It has done a number of overseas flights. My brother is worried
because he has a flight booked for two weeks from now. It could be over
by then, or it could be worse.

Your penchant for the pathetically obvious is only exceeded by your
tedious lack of wit.

It may be obvious to you, but judging from the number of people who think that
suspending aviation is an overreaction, it would seem that many people don't
understand the risks of volcanic ash for aviation.

Nope.
The thinking is that flights from Heathrow, for instance, could have
continued far longer (unless they were going north) before the ash
cloud had even approached southern England.
