A view inside a nuclear reactor
This is not a metaphorical view inside a nuclear reactor. This is for real-real.
This month, the good folks at TEPCO sent a remote-controlled endoscope and thermometer into the containment vessel of Fukishima's crippled reactor #2, hoping to learn something about the level of cooling water, the state of the fuel rods, and the temperature in the reactor. The view is obscured by steam, the effects of radiation, and (are you sitting down) actual goddam gamma rays just whizzing by.
In other news, there's a small chance I may be in Mountain View next week.
California or Arkansas? (I know the likely answer, but a guy can hope.)
I'm so ill prepared for today.
I actually managed to leave my wallet at home and I could swear that I didn't take it out of my purse last night.
I think it would only go here, in whitefont. Like Grey's and other nighttime soaps. And I am also loving it, but don't have anything intelligent to say, except: REVEEENNNNNGGGGEEE!!!!
BS CONSENSUS!
I think tonight is a new ep, so we should totes talk about it here.
Sumi, I am also ill prepared for today. Largely because I haven't been able to convince myself to put on clothes and leave the house yet, but I am guessing it won't get any better once I do all that.

I missed this last night. If you are, SUSHI!
I LOVE Revenge. I am totally in love with Nolan. My BFF is totally in love with the guy who was Kyle on Roswell.
Are there any librarians around/people who use the public library for kindle books? My library seems to have either a very paltry selection of things I would like to read and/or I cannot navigate Overdrive properly. I am wondering if it has to do with availability, or with what they choose to purchase. Also, what is www3? That is their web address: www3.libraryweb.org.
re stretchiness
I read an article a while back that flexibility is something people are born with and you can only increase your flexibility by stretching every day. Once you stop, you almost immediately start losing again. I am very inflexible, cannot touch my toes, not even close. If I stretch 20-30 min a day for 3-4 months, then I can.
re stretchiness
If you fall into a black hole, your body will be stretched to several miles long before it disintegrates.
Sorry, that's all I got on the subject.
Also, cats are stretchy.
