My son was talking to a fellow SEABEE who’s in Tokyo when the quake hit, and aftershocks- nice to know they’ll be there to help in the way America CAN be proud of! Some of the places I visited decades ago, are gone! They will need us to be US!
Kamik Husky says;
I look down on those tiny little ants on the ground in the summer and up to those big, mighty humans above me. While humans look down on the helpless dog, other, mightier forces look down on the helpless yet arrogant human just like I look down on ants.
^Yep, agree. Wish we could make some progress on fusion power.
I’ve recommended this elsewhere, but Atomic Awakening is a bleeep good book and the most readable explanation of nuclear theory and practice (including reactor design) I’ve ever seen. And even though the author is a nuclear engineer, he doesn’t whitewash the various incidents, not even the too-little-known SL-1 disaster, which killed three men in 1961 now buried in lead coffins.

^good link, thanks. The fabric of their culture IS to live WITH nature, not attempt to “conquer” it- thus greater resilience indeed.
