“End Nuclear Insanity Before Nuclear Insanity Ends Humanity”
MAY 31, 2024
This cynical but humorous sign is compliments of my writer and nuclear concerned Wisconsin friend, Michelle UluOla. I will have something more to say about what it represents in tomorrow’s post.
LLAW’s NUCLEAR ISSUES & COMMENTS, Thursday, (05/30/2024)
I apologize for being so late with this “All Things Nuclear” Post tonight, but I had three long medical appointments that ran overtime, taking up much of my day. The delay was worth the trouble, though, since I came away with a clean bill of health, which is always good to know; especially at my age.
Because this is so late and there are mostly typical nuclear news tonight, I will leave interested readers to their own devices and scan the nuclear news (plus one Yellowstone story) to suit your fancy. ~llaw
