A Very New Mexico Drive

Today, while driving back from Alamogordo, NM, I saw a very elusive New Mexican object.  It was a WIPP truck!  It must have been carrying radioactive material from somewhere up north as I saw the truck near Glorieta, NM.  There are nuclear triggers produced in Los Alamos, NM and the radioactive waste is trucked somewhere down south for disposal.  I could almost feel my face melting off as I drove by.

Here's a pic I stole off the Los Alamos National Labs website depicting a WIPP truck driving toward Espanola:

  Hi Babe -
  
  Good sighting, WIPP truck before roadrunner though? That's kinda messed up. Most WIPP trucks have 3 large awkward looking cylinders on them. I've never seen the square kind shown here.
  
  It's good to see photos of where you're traveling when I'm traveling, even if they're stock photos from a website not where you were. It helps me visualize a bit.
  
  Love you.

    Yeah, the truck that I saw had the three concrete cylinders.
    
    So I couldn't tell if you were being sarcastic or not with your "stock photo" comment. Taking photos while driving is difficult- they usually end up blurred or out of focus. It's best to leave it to the pros and snag them off other's websites.
