Over Our Heads
Our ODD guests today Mr. Owen Chamberlain and Mr. Frederick Brusch made worldly impact with their creations of bombs and books.
Early in his career, Mr. Chamberlain was part of the team that created the atomic bomb. He is said to have made a $5 bet that the test device would fail to explode - a bet he lost. Years later he would apologize to the Japanese for the nuclear attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. He also was awarded the Nobel Prize for his part in the discovery of the antiproton.
We have to admit here in black and white and red all over that we have yet to turn a page in any book by Frederick Brusch. However, we’ve ordered one or two or three and will certainly be rectifying that situation while studying the potential causes of tidal waves in La Palma.
And having nothing whatsoever to do with the first part of our daily life diary today let us just take a severe right turn and say Happy Birthday to Lou Reed
