Maybe we should start making food irradiation mandatory?

Well, the B-52 is expected to fly for at least 100 years. Why not this too?

Since your in the Detroit area let me give you a tip for some amazing roads and the best scenery. Hop on I-75 and make a beeline for Traverse City and the pinky. The roads around Long Lake are perfect, meandering and utterly flawless. Make sure to stop at the Village Cheese shop in Leeland, best sandwichs in the state.

But is the front still on it?

It actually takes almost as much fuel to land on the moon as it does to land on Mars. So, that’s one big reason for skipping the moon. Unless we can figure out the gravity problem of course.

You know, there is a cheap and easy way to kill e. coli reliably. Unfortunately the name scares people shitless and it’s not really done in the US. Irradiation has proven to be harmless and fantastic for cleaning foods though. I think it would be fantastic for the organic crowd.

Yeah.. A lot of this is at the feet of employees too. My mom’s company is a major supplier to all three and they have to keep a fleet of cars for each customer now. Turns out it’s cheaper than having to pay for employee cars getting trashed at Big 3 lots. Keying, dumping trash on and worse isn’t uncommon unfortunately.

I.. Guess you’ve never read Heinlan? His books are masterpieces and the way he could pivit from genre to genre is unmatched.

While you’re there, you should hop on the train and visit the Detroit Institute of Arts as well.

Well, thank god for small miracles, eh?

As long as its not an ARKstorm

Well, if the electron did decay, then that means there is a whole new field of physics to be explored. It would be equivilant to a new General Relativity or Quantum Mechanics. On top of the bizzare practical implications.

Funny story. I was reading that book when my grandpa died. Now I’m reading this article while making arrangements for my grandma’s funeral.

Less explosives too. Which is nice, if you don’t have a bomb range.

I had the wrong plane number in my head, ignore me please!

Well its a heavy strategic bomber. So I assume it has some method of blowing the hell out of a carrier group.

They actually can blow out the sonar on subs near the surface. Its kind of terrifying.

I’m really hoping they have open track days, could be a lot of fun to go watch. I’ll agree though, the prices for condos there seem insane.

Hey David, I have to ask. What do you think of the M1 Concorse opening in Pontiac?

That would be the LISA mission. LISA Pathfinder should be launching soon actually.
