[09:09] {RonS} gm...met the second billionare in my life yesterday...thought it was interesting that both are Iranian immigrants that came here as a result of the fall of the Shah in the late '70's...David Merage founded Hot Pockets with his brother, later sold it to Nestle for $2 billion, Bahram Akradi founded and is CEO of Lifetime Fitness...

01[09:17] {@Threei} The Icelandic Meteorology Office is closely monitoring Bárðarbunga, a volcano more than 2,000 meters in elevation, located beneath the country’s largest glacier. If lava hits glacier ice, it'll unleash an explosion that'll spew ash and steam high in the atmosphere. Aviation code now at orange.
