Two for One Map Geek Deal!!

I haven’t done much playing around with the Google satellite maps until now. But I figured I’d show you a slightly greener view from the sky. I grew up in York PA. The pink dot in this picture (hopefully, if I can get it to show up) shows my parent’s house. The large river running through the image is the Susquehanna River, which separates York and Lancaster Counties. If you look north, near the top of the picture, you can see an island with buildings on it. That island, my friends, is the famed Three Mile Island.
Yes, I grew up within the 15 mile radius. The day of the accident, my friends and I sat around in our junior high school cafeteria, laughing about the possible irradiation of our green pistachio pudding. It was a strange day, but I don’t recall being particularly scared. I think at that point, we just knew that the core of the reactor hadn’t melted down, so it just didn’t seem like that big of a deal. I don’t even recall any of my friend’s families evacuating. Different mindset in Central Pennsylvania, I think. Interesting place.

Oh no! Now you too have found map geek crack. Run if you can. Otherwise, your case will become quite grave and you will require a serious, and thoroughly unpleasant, intervention. I’ve been there, over and over, and believe you me, I still wake up in bitter cold sweats. Nothing but agony and bad times. Look at what happened to the Liberal Avenger. Run away. Run away.
