So, what did you do today?

A pirate walks into a bar with a steering wheel sticking out of his fly. The bartender says "What's the steering wheel for?" The pirate says "Arrrr....it's driving me nuts!"


I can relate..... a few years ago I was working on the car and ended up jabbing myself in the eye with a pair of needle nose plyers. Blood coming out of the eye and all.... it took a few weeks, but it all healed up well.

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.

Happenstance gig - had dinner last night with Michael Rispoli (The Sopranos), and Thom Berry (Cold Case).

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

Sounds like a hell of a crash! What did they attach the titanium to?

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.
