Once more we visit the cost of Nuclear experimentation

There is a RUMOR that The Trump administration has hinted at changing the classification of waste water at the Hanford site in Washington....from high-level radioactive to low-level.

THE REASON FOR THIS WOULD BE 
TO CUT COSTS.

LOWER CLASSIFICATION MEANS LOWER STANDARDS AND THEREFORE NOT AS MUCH MONEY NEEDS TO BE SPENT ON THE CLEAN-UP.

Let's just look at some of those numbers.

The Energy Department estimates that it will cost
$330 BILLION to $677 BILLION
to FINISH
the clean-up at
HANFORD

THEY have already spent $48 BILLION.

THAT IS ONE SITE

This map shows sites where spent Nuclear waste is stored.

This map shows where clean-up is needed......

And then there's this disaster from Japan.......

There's a reason that this stuff never gets brought up at Presidential Press Conferences

THE REASON

THERE IS NO ANSWER!!!!!!!!!!

so i THINK the press and the government have reached an agreement......no questions about Nuclear Waste Clean-up.

Before you leave this story take one more look at the map from Japan......check out the Western United States and tell me that Japan isn't paying us back for 1945.

The only point I am making here is that when someone tells you Nuclear Energy 
is the cleanest and cheapest form of ENERGY,,,,,,,,,JUST ASK THEM IF THEY INCLUDED ALL COST in determining the price.

I'm probably going to get a call from the NSA telling me to mind my own business
and
stop
making 
waves.....

It's just that the waves breaking on the western shores of America are really colorful and no one seems 
overly
concerned.......

We obviously can't do anything about the Japan situation but our domestic situation could be addressed 
unless
of
course
there's nothing
that
can
be
done

I'm still waiting for the micro or macrobiotic creature that eats radioactive waste and then disintegrates....
and hopefully that same creature
loves
orange
hair.......

California keeps fighting The Liar

When President "Biff" or President "Twit" signed the order to ease Chlorpyrifos regulations in 2017 it was one of his first attacks on environmental issues.  The photo above is with former Dow Chemical CEO Andrew Liveris.

California has fought the Trump administration on health care, climate issues, auto emissions and now pesticides.

The fact that a debate continues regarding the harm of any pesticide makes no sense.

IT IS HARMFUL
OR
IT'S NOT

The real problem seems to be a consensus from the current administration regarding anything that involves
SCIENCE.....

AND THAT SCARES THE F**K out of me.......of course those who know me well realize I have very little f**k in me so it's probably not a really big deal for me to be scared in this area.

I've chosen the monk life for quite awhile now and it seems to suit me artistically but of course I'm still looking to fall in love again but I've gone beyond being picky and have entered into the realm of "who are you kidding dude?"   I'm still waiting for Reese to break up with her current husband.  There are a few others on the list but why exaggerate the fantasy issue any further.   Fantasy is fantasy and stories always seem to evolve from that domain.

Speaking of stories....yesterday I slipped an old cassette into my car system (yeah it's an older ride) and discovered a verbal rendition of a script that I started in 1995.   I'm pretty sure it's a love story because it begins with a break up in a restaurant. It might be a murder mystery but I doubt it.  I'll go ride in my car a little bit this afternoon and hear more of the story but the weird part is I DON'T REMEMBER DOING IT.

Now that might seem of little importance to you but it's a wow in my world because whenever I verbally created a story I would always sit down and transcribe it to paper........and I have four finished scripts to verify that reality.

There was also a song I created right before the story started.  I actually sang the first stanza about 15 times while tweaking the words and the pauses and the genre.  It goes from soft rock to country and on to a blues riff before returning to soft rock.

I'd like to share the song with you but creating an MP3 version with my equipment just ain't going to happen.  I might be able to record on my cell phone.....oh wait, I don't have a cell phone.

Just stop on digest that one for a sec.  Two years ago I put it in a drawer and two years later i'm still cell phone free.

My daughter's cell phone addiction makes up for my lack of involvement in that arena of communication.

There will be CELLPHONE Anonymous meetings soon.....I GUARANTEE IT.

THE PROBLEM IS MULTI-DIMENSIONAL.

People walking and texting without regard for traffic.
People walking and viewing their phone while ignoring their children.
People using their cell phones to communicate with others while actual people are present.

THE LIST GOES ON AND ON AND ON and on and on and on......

.....just like the list of "President Twit" attempting to reverse any clean air or clean water act put into work since 1972.

BUSINESS IS GOD 
FOR 
THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION and anything that 
decreases the profit margin
is
evil

THE SAFETY AND HEALTH 
OF HUMAN BEINGS 
IS
NOT
A
PRIORITY
FOR
OUR 
CURRENT
ADMINISTRATION

THE CLARITY OF THAT STATEMENT
IS
SO
OBVIOUS
and
yet
there are serious people saying that he could actually be
reelected

and yes the reason they give is 
because
the 
economy
is
good

in other words.....business wins
we
lose.

At the very least California is trying to create an atmosphere where business can thrive and our children and their children can survive.

This might be a simple explanation why we have 40 million people living here....and why someone like Donald J. Trump could never ever remotely think about winning any type of election in California.

That reality makes me feel better.

Conundrum

Quagmire

Dilemma

        

        Caught on something

        in between

there is

pleasure

pressure

confusion

          trying to interpret my

          dream

to say I have an answer

would be lying to myself

so instead

I just release the adventure

And

Put it on

A

Shelf

A shelf located in a

Storage room

of

Ideas

Goals

Dreams

Desires

Pleasure and

Pain

Locked behind a translucent door

With a spiritual

frame
