Yes, one can find beauty there, and fun! I lived on the Columbia River. My father sang in the light opera there when he still had a voice.

Boating, water skiing and snow skiing in the winter. The city has the highest per capita number of PHDs in the country. My brother owned two pharmacies there before he died of leukemia.

One man I know has a doctorate in Physics and one in Philosophy. We always introduced him as a Paradox.

I had some good teachers. But still looking back it was like living in the Twilight Zone.

I feel like I came from the belly of the beast!

My mother helped build the A-bomb. One of my best friends is a survivor from hiroshima.

I remember a cheer from Richland High School basketball games...

Bomb 'em, Bomb 'em,
Beat 'em, Beat 'em.
Bomb 'em, Bomb 'em,
Beat 'em, Beat 'em.

A musician friend of our said that, having a mushroom cloud on your letterman's jacket is like a German having an OVEN on their jacket.

ARGH!
