Great tour, they took us to a decomissioned reactor and to where the 55,000 people once lived when they were building it. saw where they are working to store the waste as they work on contaminated soils etc. The size of the area is hard to comprehend, 586 sq. miles. Learneed a lot about how they are dealing with the liquid waste that is in single walled underground tanks.
Came away feeling better about the whole mess. These guys know what they are doing after many years of people who didn't know or didn't have the time to dispose of stuff correctly.
Now a nap may be on the agenda.
That brings back memories.
I worked on the Columbia project doing design work.
Back in my stoner days.
Before drug testing.
That sucker is still running?
Nice!

Actually all but a few of the bunkers are empty. Chris and I took a tour several years ago, right before they started to nuetralize the gas by burning it. They took us into an empty bunker and then thru the process of how they move them to the burn facility etc. Quite a process and extreme safety guidlines. I read that they are done with all of the sarin gas and only have a bunker or two of mustard gas to empty. When that is done they will look at a use for the bunkers, possible ideas are rent them out to people for storage (always a cool even temp and built to withstand a plane impact),. They would also make a good grow room for pot growers. People here are happy to have the gas gone as we are in the windpath if there were ever a leak and at 70 years old ya gotta figure they would be corroding.

Nope. Not that one either. I imagine that combo goes against your salty and sweet rule- I hear backfill is quite salty

And I wonder if the sailor top is clean, or pre-worn?

Kathy got her Honored Citizen card from the local transit agency today.

All zones, all month, 24/7 for $26 - that will save us $62 a month. Too bad she had to be going blind to get it.

Haven't been on the board much the last few days (have been sick) but seems like several threads have been locked. Guess I missed some things.

L.A. Ink new season starts tonight.

To take things back to randomness...

I hate when I lick the blade the wrong way and cut my tongue.

I don't think I've ever done that I've cut up my fingers plenty, and burnt the HELL outta my mouth (impatience and hunger winning over letting the pizza cool- MANY times)- but no tongue cuts, yet....

Heal up quick!
