This morning I heard a story on NPR about an ex-Los Alamos employee who quit an became an anti-nuke activist in 1969. In 1980 he opened a store called the Black Hole where he primarily sells surplus Engineering and Scientific equipment from Los Alamos

eBay does brisk trade in this stuff.

I'm just sayin', apparently this guy doesn't use eBay and his prices might be better. He's 85! What does he know from eBay and you whippersnappers with your small first letter and big second letter. The e is a bicycle and the B is pants!

Thanks. : -)

Zed and I went to see a one man show in which this place was discussed extensively. Apparently he got it started by just driving around and dumpster diving, essentially. They throw out crazy stuff. I wish I could remember how the one man show described the Black Hole because it was fantastic, some of the things he listed as there, and the owner, Ed, seems like such a character.

Zed and I are planning on visiting Trinity someday (drive hours to see a hole, and be exposed to trinitite? awesome!) and we're definitely going to try to check out The Black Hole.

Make sure you go soon. Ed is 85 and has cancer.
