This will possibly become one of my favorite mini-documentaries. It combines many interesting subjects - all rolled into one and regurgitated by an interesting elderly man.
Surplus stores, the nuclear science business, and old men with money. What more can you ask for in entertainment?

the crew i work with each summer in santa fe makes a day trip to the black hole, both for fun and a little for reconaissance.

i took pics this year and posted to flickr, here's the set. . .

What a wonderful old man.

I always thought the way to win the "war" was simple: Fix their shit; don't break more of it.
