The dead hand
Soviets Built a Doomsday Machine; It’s Still Alive
led me to Inside the Apocalyptic Soviet Doomsday Machine
That’s right, an actual doomsday device—a real, functioning version of the ultimate weapon, always presumed to exist only as a fantasy of apocalypse-obsessed science fiction writers and paranoid über-hawks. The thing that historian Lewis Mumford called “the central symbol of this scientifically organized nightmare of mass extermination.” Turns out Yarynich, a 30-year veteran of the Soviet Strategic Rocket Forces and Soviet General Staff, helped build one.

Great four day weekend!
I had planned to take Friday and Monday off to accomodate colgaffneyis show in Aberdeen, South Dakota. That was cancelled, to my profound relief. However, I took the vacation days anyway. It was great.
I got two extra days to sleep in. I had a lot of time for woodworking and brewing (see previous posts). There was good drinking and eating: Belgian beer Friday evening, the St. Paul farmers’ market Saturday, and an Indian lunch today. We did see some of our colgaffneyis friends at Merlin’s Rest, the group’s monthly “Night at the Pub” later Friday night. On Sunday mia_mcdavid and I had a good time at church and did useful work there, followed by a pleasant outing with our son Tom. Irish class Monday night was interesting and inspiring.
Best of all, this was a lot of time spent with just mia_mcdavid.
