Been spending the last several days devouring some of those books. When I've had the time. And doing work-related stuff, and trying to finish up the little bit of xmas shopping that I have to do.
Something relating two of the three above is that I found a LIFE magasine from before WWII, in almost perfect condition. Hope my aunt hasn't secretly found this blog, because she's going to love it.
And one of the things keeping me busy is trying to put together a coherent, non-rambling response to my friend Leslie, who is wanting to keep believing in nuclear energy. So much to say, it's almost like being in school again and putting together a position paper! The "green" renewable sources generally need a back-up as things like wind and solar can rarely be at full capacity. Hydroelectric is fantastic, but not every country has that option. People are backing away from fracturing because of possible environmental concerns. And really, nuclear isn't as terrible as most think, the accidents are so few and far between that it's ridiculous, and even then, the consequences are generally not as terrible as initially assumed. Well, the radioactive wolves near Chernobyl sound scary. As The Bloggess says, "We may have over-planned for zombies, and under-planned for nuclear wolves."
Do you think that being bitten by a radioactive wolf would give you super powers?
