“End Nuclear Insanity Before Nuclear Insanity Ends Humanity

LLAW’s Nuclear World News’ Image and/or Lead Story for Today . . .

Behind schedule today because of a balky new device to my network, which for some reason — unknow to both my very experience technician who did a wonderful job of tracking down a loss of speed to my network — which turned out to be from a heavy-duty outdoor aerial cable that oddly had some broken feed wires in it, rather than the indoor cables and connections that are the usual culprits. I was pleasantly surprised because my network is blazing away now Sorry this post is a bit late == but it was well worth it . . .llaw

An Important Message from:

Lloyd Albert Williams/Pendergraft, Content Creator . . .

This daily blog post will, for the next several issues at least, contains only the daily compiled LLAW’s Nuclear World News Today for an unknown period without comment or critique because my eyesight has quite suddenly become impossible for me to continue. (Google compiles the category lists from news sources for me automatically during the course of a day, so the articles and stories themselves are not a problem to post, although they are often out of category order, which I will do my best to correct each day.)

But, rest assured, I’m not going away — I am doing everything in my power to remedy the problem with my eyes — and I hope to return to a full daily report, including new, stronger and more internationally important commentary, of “All Things Nuclear” as soon as I am physically able . . . ~llaw\
