Well... the training class was interesting, if nothing else. Saw some nasty photos of people who had radiation burns (one guy picked up some material and put it in his back pocket, burning a huge hole in his butt cheek!), saw some interesting videos of tests where they crashed radioactive containers into trucks, trains, even an F-4 jet... Russell Takata from DOH was very informative and very nice to come all the way from Honolulu to give the training.
On a related note, the Army's initial findings are YES, they are finding depleted uranium at Pohakuloa Training Area here on the Big Island. You don't want to be downwind of that stuff.

Time is an illusion, but a handy one. Without it, we would not be able to hear sounds, and without that ability, we would have no music.
