OPPENHEIMER GROUND ZERO AT LOS ALAMOS

Oppenheimer ground zero at Los Alamos isn’t fading away anytime soon.

Before the movie he was a science guy with an agenda.

Here he is with his dance partner.

“Hey, Buddy, how’d you like that one?”

The memory of the scientist and general got a new casting in history.

Same guys, different context.

Or is it?

Oppenheimer Ground Crew Party

The call went out for scientists, good scientists, top scientists, and they answered the call to Los Alamos.

That’s where they lived and worked and gathered and celebrated.

The former Ranch School in Los Alamos and new social center.

Look at those doorways. It must be huge inside.

It is. The front door was open so we went inside to find it set for an Oppy dinner.

Or something.

What was on the menu on Oppenheimer ground?

They came, ate, they did their job, and left.

But their work continues.

And the world still reacts.
