Three Mile Island and other random train and nuke stuff

Well, 25 years since TMI had a near meltdown is a few days away. It put Harrisburg map. When people ask where i'm from, and they dont know where harrisburg is, i just say TMI. They take a step back and say Ohhhhhh. No really, TMI is a big part of the area, and seems to just sit in the backround. Except for now, after 9-11. Pennsylvania National Gaurd is now in charge of security, and it is tight. Lots of guys walding around with LOADED M-16s. What bothers me the most was on the tuesday morning of 9-11, tha main gate was wide open with nobody standing watch, anyone could wander in. Not so anymore, its tricky to just run by, as my cross country team found out. We all were running by when a national gaurdsman stopped all of us. We couldnt quite hear what he was saying, so we all moved closer. But us being runners, we went with some hustle towards them.[:D] ALL the gaurdsmen turned and faced us with their guns.[:0][:0][:0] Turns out he just wanted us to give a howdy to our principle because he used to be a gaurdsman.
But it freaked us out for a few minutes.[:D][:D]
I have some other train related tmi stuff to tell, but later for now.
