Los Alamos


We drove up to Los Alamos today so we could see the birthplace of the atomic bomb.

Although the original buildings involved in the Manhattan Project are gone, the National Laboratory is still here
This is a photo taken just outside of town.


Los Alamos has a population of around 18,000 and the laboratory employs 11,000 so I figure the average IQ in this town is a gazillion.


You can buy T-shirts that say "I.B. Glowing" or get one showing a mushroom cloud with the words THE ATOMIC CITY LOS ALAMOS N.M. at the CB Fox Department Store

(motto: This store's booming)
