Atomic Testing Museum
All kinds of chaotic crap going on. I am overloaded. I need a vacation. Well, luckily I get one. Ming and I have a Goddess Temple retreat coming up on Monday.
I bought some fake salami at Whole Foods today and it's pretty good. I just ate a fake salami sandwich.
Today we went to the Atomic Testing Museum. I had never been there before. I thought it would be depressing--harrowing, even. Instead, it was chillingly non-depressing. So much for a world class museum showing a balanced perspective. It was propaganda-like.
We exited through the gift shop and Ming bought a book about the test site. Nothing tempted me but a booklet (zine-like) about radiation preparedness from the 1950s. But do I really need another weird ephemera? Nope.

I love you !
I, or rather Nevada Desert Experience, bought the book The Nevada Test Site; A Guide to America's Nuclear Proving Ground for the NDE Library.
I also found the weird ephemera booklet here: https://ia800503.us.archive.org/5/items/survivalunderato00bost/survivalunderato00bost.pdf which is Survival Under Atomic Attack.
While looking for the weird ephemera text online to share here on your blog post, I found https://www3.nd.edu/~nsl/Lectures/phys205/pdf/Nuclear_Warfare_9.pdf Radiation Effects of a Nuclear Bomb which seemed interesting.
I love you !
