Default Re: Chernobyl

The site has been on /. a couple of times, and they really screwed over her host's bandwidth. So be gentle everyone -- share the site sparingly with others.

I really like the (web)site though. Whenever I've been there (the web site, not Chernobyl), I always end up lingering (on the pages) a real long time. Just thinking.

She mentions wild life and has photos of wild horses, which is cool. What I wonder about something I heard 'bout a year after the incident:

A couple secretaries/receptionists were talking in the hallway at college. They said the plant life there was growing weird and misshapen in responce to the radiation. I had to interrupt them. I know a lot of radiation was released, but plants, as I recall, can survive an order of magnitude more radiation than animal life, so it didn't seem plausible to me. They didn't have the specifics -- it was just a rumor for them.

The trees don't look odd in any of the pictures but I'll have to settle this myself. I need a book on Ukrainian botany, lunch, motorcycle, and a radiation gauge. I'm unemployed, so I got time. Did I forget anything else -- oh, wait, money for a flight to Russia
