Three Mile Island

A while back, Mon Amour and I were up in the PA area; and it turns out, we were a mere mile or two away from 3 Mile Island. I don't know much about this place, except that there was a nearly catastrophic malfunctioning of the nuclear power plant on the island.

It is clearly a landmark, so, being so close, we could not pass up an opportunity to visit and take some photos. While there we were impressed by how bleak and ominous it felt due to the combination ice-flow and nuclear power plant vapor clouds. So Mon Amour took lots of cool photos.






What was most crazy was how close so many houses were. Where we live, I always think its a little crazy to give directions that go something like "You will pass some cows in a pasture, then turn right after the big red barn". But how much more weird would it be to say something like "Come down wandsuchstreet, and when TMI comes into view, we are the house directly on your left". That would just be disturbing.
