I can tell you have seen the pix. In all truthfulness, I was 90 miles
North circa 7:30 a.m. shaving on Mercer Island when the entire house
shook - - - long before they blasted a hole for Bill's shack at the end
of the island. About 5 hrs later I was circa 150 miles East of ground
zero on the Interstate in the Yakima Valley and had to stay in a motel
for two days to avoid ruining the Scout engine ('Anything else is just
a car.'). No visibility for 24 hrs. Pumice is a coarse word to use
with this plutonic nanotech. Believe, not even the French grind
anything this fine. Just lifting the lid from the jar creates a cloud
of nanotech vapor!! To save the question........ NO, it is NOT
sweet tasting.
ON Topic: A great book - nearly three inches thick - - was later
published by the USGS loaded with awesome and terrific pix. Two years
before, my OM captured the views from around and on top. Gives au
natural meaning to: There is no perfect beauty (before) which hath not
some strangeness (after) to the proportion.

Uh, I took Sophomore Geology and the mineral lab. Heh...plutons I
know...I don't think "pluton" and "nanotech" have ever crossed paths
in my head before, though. Just from slides, photos and film from the
survivors that were doing that survey on the mountain, I have an idea
how dramatic it must have been, but I'll never know what it was like
being close to something like that.
