Thanks Old Git for the heads up on Popo. Really nice clear cam shot of the volcano.

This morning he was hiccuping glowing gas (sounds like Sweetie after Mexican food). Then I watched as a "smoke ring" of clouds formed around him, about 1/8 of the way down from the top. Pretty neat.

The time is 11:44 AM Central time and I just looked again at the cam shot of Popo, it is not a happy camper!

Now that looks like Sweetie after Indian food!

Babelfish isn't working right now but I think I can give the gist of the latest report. It seems Popo has been active with "exhalations" and tremors of about 3 on the scale. It says the present activity is characteristic of explosive activity like that of the 16th and 29th of April.

Popo on the 29th

Popo on the 16th

Keep him away from Indian food! :~) Or have plenty of Pepto Bismo handy.

Just looked again at cam, am seeing pink in the stuff it's blowing out.

I've got to get some sleep. Been up tooo long.
