Volcano? What Volcano?

So the weather in Amsterdam is absolutely gorgeous today and it's hard to imagine there is a threatening cloud of particulate matter hanging over us. We live in a bit of a bubble -- until this morning we were mainly concerned with whether my father-in-law would make it across from NY on Wednesday as planned. But the extent of the problem is starting to sink in. The European edition of the New York Times tells us supermarkets here may begin to run out of perishables soon, so I think I will stock up on meat and frozen and canned goods when the stores open tomorrow. Hope it's not too chaotic. I'll report back.
