BajaNomad - Poll: How does the extra radiation feel?

Poll: How does the extra radiation feel?

The Gull - 3-18-2011 at 01:11 PM

Just polling how all Nomads on the West Coast of US, Canada and Baja are doing with the arrival of the Japanese radiation.

I was green yesterday but today it seems to have gone away.

It's great, I have such a glow that I don't need to turn the lights on the house and I can change channels on the TV by blinking.

I worked at the San Onofre Nuke plant for parts
of 30 yrs. Have stood looking into the spent fuel
pool, been in bubble suits. The older I get the
more sceptical I am. I don't believe much.
Wish all the success to the Nuke workers at the
Japanese plant, TRUE HEROS

I am saving big money today.

No visit to the tanning salon today.

Geez. Being five thousand miles from the site, and given that whatever ultimately happens, it would not be like Chernobyl where the whole thing expoded, just consider this-

"Cigarette Smoking
Besides carbon dioxide, tar, and nicotine, cigarette smoke also contains radioactive lead and polonium, enough to result in a radiation exposure of 1300 mrem/year to a 1.5 pack a day smoker. Each cigarette smoked can also be equated to one chest x-ray, and a non-smoker living with a smoker may receive the equivalent of 12 chest x-rays per year as a result of second-hand smoke. Perhaps the easiest radiation exposure to control is this one: If you smoke, stop; if you don’t smoke, don’t ever start. Whenever possible, minimize your exposure to other people’s smoke. For more information about smoking, see the Quitting Smoking Fact Sheet."

Little bumps are sprouting on my temples. Soon I'll look like Fez. How cool is that!!

Welcome to the future.

You just spray it on and harmful rays can't reach you.

The comments are hilarious. Here's the best one:

"Wait until the proper authorities tell Tokyo residents that not only should they not give tap water to infants, but do not give it to anyone who was ever an infant."

The fallout here in L.A. feels oddly like rain.

Some old folks and people with chronic illness swear that a little bit of radiation does the body good.

Radiation-radon therapy is available in several locations in Europe and at 4 old mines in Montana. People go into these mines - sit, soak in water, breath steam.... and claim that the effects of the low-level radon gas improves their health.

Who knows.... perhaps I'll soon be arthritis-free thanks to Japan's blown nukers. :rolleyes:

I have gotten used to the plinging on my aluminum hat, not bad once you get used to it. My reception is better too.

I saved a grip of cash on x-rays. I just looked down at my chest...I'm good.

Big one brudda. Little dusty from all those Baja trips but it's there.

Thinking it was 1960, 61? Maybe 62??? Was never too coherent then; aboard an U.S.N. fleet tug, had a junk destroyer in tow.

400 miles SW of San Diego we detonated a 13.5 Kilo-ton nuclear device under the destroyer to see what would happen. Where did that put us?

What about the mammalian sea-life, shucks, what about all sea-life.

What about the folks downwind??? Chief said he was still recording rads in the intakes two months later.

It was called "Operation Dominic" I believe. Have not thought about that in years.

So far, so good...
