I was standing in a pool of glowing chromosome looking kind of stuff!
Kind of like kinky gummy snakes. They were closing in on me and I jumped out
just in time having made one last exposure. Glad my Keds were hightops.

Right outa Chicago on hw 94 you get into Indiana and the Sand Dunes stretch.
You take highway 12 to get closer.
Its one of the seven wonders of the word.
Ok Maybe one of the seven kind of interesting things of the word.
A National Lakeshore. Which is not easy.
Part of the National Park System. somehow.

Its not just any beach its a beach where you have to smooth out all your
footprints in the sand afterwards and not bend any blades of grass.
I have nothing but glowing things to say about it.

Its sand. 
But its really nice sand.
And lots of it.
Tall piles even.

The Nuclear power plant right there no one seems to notice.
Like the Rhino in your kitchen.
By far the closest I ever got to one.
One heck of a way to boil water! He said glowingly.

I think combine the Atomic Energy Commission with the National Parks System
and you've got one great Sunday in the Park with the Jetsons..

Just curious now that Pluto has been discredited;
What about Plutonium?
It's safe to drink now?

And Pluto the dog.


"Pluto was named after the dwarf planet Pluto which was discovered in 1930,
the same year that the character was introduced, and thus is indirectly
named after the Roman god of the underworld."

whoooooooooo
