Full Moon Riding High in Sky

Went to interesting Los Alamos Historical Society talk at Fuller Lodge by Ellen McGehee who works at Los Alamos National Laboratory. She gave slide show about Manhattan era (Project Y) buildings that are being restored in the Anchor Ranch, S Site, and Pajarito Site areas. One interesting factoid is that all the work that was being done at Pajarito Site has now been moved to Nevada and the lab is in the process of decommissioning Pajarito Site or TA-18. One day it will be open to the public who can then tour the Pond Cabin which is on New Mexico's State Register of Cultural Properties. It was very well attended. One glitch was that it didn't start on time because first they needed to round up a projector screen. The one they finally brought in was so small! I handily whipped out my binoculars and was able to easily see it, though, from the very back of the room!
