now (re)reading
"Control of Nature" by McPhee the Atchafalaya chapter - though I will move on to the next chapter, of course, and hopefully not cringe too much

Speculations on astronomy, astrophysics, news I find interesting,
science and science policy.
In particular: gravitational radiation
sources, black holes, exoplanets and astrobiology.
I will digress into basically whatever I feel like whenever.
And, of course, cats. To say nothing of the dog.
Steinn Sigurðsson is an astrophysicist at Penn State.
Needless to say, my opinions are my own and I do not speak for any institution in this capacity

remind me -- is Iceland the next chapter, or Southern California? --AD
Iceland is second.
I remember that night very well indeed; am still amazed that the civil defence plan actually worked (hell, I'm still amazed that it actually existed...)
Stirling Colgate has some absolutely wonderful anecdotes about that time, and the day we "almost lost Ireland"...
