It makes sense to me. Easy peasy..
Maybe had you ended your statement with an acknowledgment that it makes no sense to you it'd be easier to write it off as an opinion. But brah, you're trying to pass off your interpretation of reality as if it is all there is.. it's your way or the highway, and you do it with insults. Seriously, why you gotta be like that? When it's convenient you cover yourself in some sort of "Im only asking questions" bs and then bam you're saying, as if to demean, others are babbling, why?
And since we're on the subject, howz your highway stack up to MLO, - better, worse, or about the same?
I always love the drive up to MLO, it's way better than doing the curbside crawl down 130. Have you ever hiked up from there to the summit? Or, appreciated the deflection barriers JPL designed when they built the observatory in the first place. What a wonderful world, eh?
As far as that road not being cleared.. in Iceland it would have been back in action within a day or two of the eruption stopping.. a week at the most.
Let's spell it out. The question was:
The real question though is how's the drive from Puna compared to Mauna Loa Observatory?
The question asks how the drive from Puna is—to where? I don't know. Then, it asks to compare the Mauna Loa Observatory to that drive. MLO is a physical thing, a place. If that makes sense to you, fine, but I don't see how the rest of the English-speaking world would.
