So, Three Mile Island is getting new generators. If you follow this link, you’ll be able to see the caterpillar that transports the two 510 ton steam generators at up to 3 miles per hour. I just found out about this after they left Maryland… I can’t believe it. That would be interesting to see. I’d also like to see the glowing frogs that inhabit TMI. [just kidding] Anyway, they are being treated like they are tiny space shuttles, creeping along the state roads.
So, tonight on the way home from Baltimore we saw a meteorite punch through the clouds and light up the sky. It was pretty cool too. I tried to find it, but I think it ended up on the Fort Detrick’s “Site B” superfund location. They periodically do inventory of the deer that run around out there. I think they wait for nightfall and then count the glowing deer.
Had a good day if I could have deleted the fifty bajillion people from exiting Baltimore at rush hour. Seriously, that city needs some traffic planning. The way it works just doesn’t make sense. 30 streets merging from an entire city, all heading to a 2 lane side street that heads to the freeway that is only 2 lanes wide outside Camden Yards. It doesn’t encourage people to stay in the city and consume food and drink, I think it does just the opposite. It makes them so mad they don’t want to come back. I’d be willing to look into it. First off… shut down the tributaries within the last 3 blocks heading out between 4pm and 7pm. Funnel people through major streets and make both sides of the thoroughfare go out to the freeway. That way you have non-stop traffic heading out. Then, make sure you make all of the lights green so people get moving at a steady clip. One of the biggest errors I can see every time I leave Baltimore is that a three lane street gets reduced to two, then opens back up to three about a quarter mile down the road. That is crazy.
