V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N

I note that there are now tours of… ready… you are not ready: Chernobyl. You know, that thousand year radiation capital of Deadly and Empty. I wonder how many dental X-rays THAT trip equals? Instructions include “stay off dirt” and “don’t touch anything.” (And forget having children or a long life. Use sunscreen with an SPF of 9,000. Wrap yourself in lead. Hold your breath. Leave film at home.) Last year they had hundreds of visitors. This year they expect same. Reports say some of what was left has been looted. Watch on e-bay ! "Toasterski that doesn’t need electricitiski."

Finally a destination for the goth. Desolation for the disconsolate. Psst: “Hey buddy, Want to buy a postcard of dead bird flock?”

In the words of a Was Not Was song: “World Gone Cra-zy, ooooooo.”
