Earlier I was out with my wife and she's into op shopping so I drove around a bunch of second hand shops while she was hunting out some
uranium glass.. it's stuff that glows under UV light that she's
into at the moment.

You need to be a bit careful with that stuff. A lot of it is pretty
low level, but some of it is pretty radioactive. She got you running around with the black light torch yet? I don't know any way to tell
the more from less radioactive pieces.
On a seperate but related note there's also uranium based orange glaze
on some 30s pottery thats hiddeously radioactive, pretty much any deep red/orange glazing.

She might need one of these:

I wonder if I should find Geiger counter as a Christmas gift? ;-)
I think she may have one already... from what I can tell there's different types of UV light needed to shine on things to test if they contain X,Y,Z ?

So, I happen to be very near Corning, NY and the Corning Museum of Glass. I actually worked there once upon a lifetime ago as a preparator. (we made and maintained the exhibits)
If there comes a burning glass inquiry please do drop a line and I'll have a look into it.

Figured I'd post a 'hello' here as I've been a little quiet lately in my posting efforts but do keep an eye on the echos and still busy withthats okay! <3
fsxNet admin duties etc.
..and a general thanks to you for reading / taking the time to post in fsxNet. It's always nice to read echomail from around the planet and see who's up to what etc.
The recent food thread was massive, much like the lunch I had <-- bad
Dad joke :)
