Aso burped. The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) noted it yesterday released 2,100 tons of sulpher dioxide, 2,099.999 tons more than my daily release. Access to the rim has been restricted according to JMA’s classification system which goes from Level 1 (fuggedaboutit) to Level 5 (if you’re reading this, you’re already dead); Aso is now Level 2, which requires about the same level of attention as one pays to one’s dog at dinner. - William
