   Cuomo HAARPS (I see what I did there) that Indian Point   
   is unsafe. Oh, and it's killing off fish and other   
   living things.   
      
   Now of course all that happens when your suction and   
   exhaust water pipes kill off the fish that are in   
   a 1,500 foot semicircle around them is that...   
      
   ... is that the fish that are 2,000 feet away have   
   lots of food to chomp on.

   Speaking of which, if you're in the Savannah, Georgia, area,   
   hie thee over to the Savannah Railway Musuem.   
      
   They have a human powered handcar and 750 or so feet   
   of track to go back and forth on.   
      
   It takes a bit of effort to get it moving, but once   
   you've started it's easy. Well, at least for the   
   short distance.   
      
   As it turns out the handcar is only 375 or so pounds.   
   I'd have thought more like a thousand.. Well, of course   
   once you add in the people riding along...
