I remember that before TWS and Morgan showed up wearing an eye patch. I had a patch as well after the doc put a piece of titanium to hold up my eye after a boat crash.

Damn good Italian food at Robanos Italian Kitchen. The middle guy is Ronnie, the owner.

Control rods in water, Mitch?? I've always been fascinated by how atomic energy, in relation to it running a power plant, works. It's so very basic, yet so very powerful. Ever read a book called "We almost lost Detroit?".
I had a part time job at Texas A&M at the 1 MWatt research reactor. Since it didn't produce power it was an open 30' deep pool of ultra-pure water (any impurities would be activated by the neutrons in the reactor and become radioactive). When the reactor was on it produced a really cool blue glow, but 30' of water is a very efficient shield and there was negligible radiation exposure standing next to the pool.
For those that are curious, the cause of the blue light is Cerenkov radiation where the neutrons are essentially going through water faster than the speed of light through water.
