The Accidental Atomic Tourist



I was planning on taking the family to LA over Christmas, but after a visit to The Bureau of Atomic Tourism, I think that we should change our itinerary. Why waste time and money at Disneyland, or some other crowded theme park when we could be hiking across melted glass near Ground Zero at the Nevada Test Site? What does a few extra millirems of radiation exposure matter, when confronted with the awe-inspiring sight of giant breeder reactors designed for atomic-powered aircraft?

I think I'm going to call Northwest right now to change my plane tickets, then I'll head over to the home-improvement store to buy building materials for my combination home fallout shelter and snack bar in the basement. When I'm finished, I'll have a groovy place to drink those luscious Atomic Cocktails while reading my Atomic Revolution comic book and old Civil Defense brochures.
