Atomic Bombs

Still on the trip back East, but we are stopping along the way to see people. Right now were in Richland, Washington which along with Kenniwick and Pasco are part of the Tri-Cities. It's were the Hanford nuclear facilities is located. Apparently they built the atomic bombs which ended World War II. As Dave Barry explained it we dropped the bomb on Hiroshima to end world war and save lives. And we dropped the second one because we still had another bomb. Their high school is the Richland Bombers. They have places like Atomic Bowling, Atomic Ale, etc. The local minor league team when I was growing up was the Medford Giants. They often played the Tri-City Atoms. I now know why they had that name.

If things go according to plan, Friday will be Washington, Idaho, and Montana. Saturday will be Montana, Wyoming, and South Dakota. Sunday is South Dakota, Nebraska, and Kansas. Monday is Kansas and Missouri. A couple days off then Thursday is Missouri, Illinois, Indiana. Friday is Indiana and Kentucky.
