35 Years Ago Today

The accident at Three Mile Island. I see the steam cloud rising from these towers every day from
where I live. So far no mutants.

Wow, those 35 years went by fast.

"Little boy blue you knucklehead
Your sheep just keeled over
Your cow just dropped dead
Little boy blue can't you see
that three mile island is no place to be"

I remember this going around my school when it happened.

I don't wanna land on no Three Mile Island
I don't wanna see my skin aglow...

Three Mile Island Bassmasters had a logo of a glowing bass.

Across the street from the entrance to the facility there used to be a bar called
Radioactive Bar. They had old Gieger counters hanging on the wall.

I remember being scared and thinking we should all head south (actually, I still think I should head south).

♪♫♪ Waitress, I need two more boat drinks.
Then I'm headin south 'fore my dream shrinks.
......
I gotta go where there ain't any snow,
where there ain't any blow, 'cause my fin sinks so low.
I gotta go where it's warm! ♪♫♪

After this past winter, I second the motion.
For at least maybe four months out of the year.

I found myself out in New Mexico that summer traveling with my brother and his soon to be wife in their traveling medicine show. Sometime in June, we met the folks from the article below that were employees at Three Mile Island at the time of the disaster.
