“I have always loved the many moods of the sky at Rocky Flats. Turquoise and teal in summer, fiery red at sunset, iron gray when snow is on the way. The land rolls in waves of tall prairie grass bowed to the wind, or sprawling mantles of white frosted with a thin sheath of ice in winter.” NatureBeautySkySunset Book:Full Body Burden: Growing Up in the Nuclear Shadow of Rocky Flats Source: Full Body Burden: Growing Up in the Nuclear Shadow of Rocky Flats
“My family never talks about feelings, and we certainly never talk about plutonium. It's hard to take something seriously if you can't see it, smell it, touch it, or feel it. Plutonium is a cosmic trick. The invisible enemy, the merry prankster. Can it hurt you or not? None of us know.” FamilyPlutonium Book:Full Body Burden: Growing Up in the Nuclear Shadow of Rocky Flats Source: Full Body Burden: Growing Up in the Nuclear Shadow of Rocky Flats
