Is it a 90 day wonder weapon or just a normal development that has been in the works for a couple of years?

I know a guy who works on the B61 at Sandia National Lab. When he signed on he said he's be employed until his grandchildren were through college.

We were talking about New Mexico’s green chili burgers the other day.

I stopped in Old Town Albuquerque and had one at the Backstreet Grill. Very good quality. I think I was going about 82 mph with three semi-trucks around me when I went through Tijeras or I would have given you a call.

I guess I should add that this thing has a couple of significant characteristics.

1. It is the original Nuc Bunker Buster — first versions developed in the 60 for ground penetration.

2. At 700 lbs it can be carried by anything — hence the F-16

3. At 11’8 and about a 13” diameter it can ship anywhere in large numbers.

4. It was developed when the Soviets were using about a thousand feet of granite for their Cheyenne Mtn equivalent — NK did dig that deep.

A cousin of mine retired from Sandia National Lab.
