    VOLKANO in VOLKA erupted!!!! All flights to VOLKA have been canceled for at least a week due to ash in the air. Air travel is also grounded to/from GRANDEGRAD, Bocksburg, New Leopolis, as well as no flights are possible from Dickson from what we have heard since the President of Dickson was not able to board a flight to Europe for an important funeral! Any other flight cancellations???

    Welcome to update #8... The Volcano eruption is  just a distant memory.... The biggest challenge VOLKA residents had to deal with thanks to the eruption were food shortages.... Thus, this update largely focuses on showcasing small farmtowns around VOLKA..... Like this one:

    Many residents of VOLKA propoer believe this silo holds BLUE BEER rather than wheat... Is it an urban, or rather rural legend, or the truth... Only those in the know really know...

    Back in VOLKA, the executives have established themselves as quite a force to reckon with:

    How did you get the brick roads?


    Ocram's Razor: Though "more things shouldn't be used than are necessary," they're just too fun to pass up! Expect many verbose arguments from me. I will try to write abstracts before or short summaries after from now on.

    Words to live by:
    "Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit; to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit... But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually..." 1 Corinthians 4-11

    "Do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34
    "Do not judge so that you will not be judged. For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you." Matthew 7:1-3

    Welcome to update #11! VOLKA has decided to rebuilt parts of its ancinet Old Volka. Old Volka was built nearly 2,000 years ago, but numerous volcano eruptions raised it to the ground many times. Anyhow, let's start off with some CBD shots!!! Check out these double-decker buses!: Transit is VERY popular in VOLKA:

    Beautiful. I love the busy image this city has. Also, at your parking lots, I actually see cars parking! How do you get that? Mine remain empty!

    Supply and demand dynamics, my friend!!!  You gotta place them in areas people want to travel to --- look at your traffic map 4.gif  I built some new parking lots and I see them nearly full already -- also my buses are now mostly double-deckers and are always nearly full, I get messages about buses being overcapacity all the time now --- I don't know what's going on exactly, but as you said, I simply like the idea of this city being so 'alive.'  4.gif   I'm building a tram network and a rail station next....
