Ash From Iceland Volcano Disrupts Air Traffic

On Wednesday, a volcano under Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull glacier erupted for the second time in a month, spewing clouds up to 30,000 feet.

Yeah, no kidding. Swedish airspace is on a full lockdown.
A friend who was going on honeymoon is stuck at the airport.

"Beyond the rim of the star-light
My love
Is wand'ring in star-flight
I know
He'll find in star-clustered reaches
Love,
Strange love a star woman teaches.
I know
His journey ends never
His star trek
Will go on forever.
But tell him
While he wanders his starry sea
Remember, remember me."
