My boss in Oak Ridge was a lefty California import. I bought myself a sub machine gun at the local Class 3 Gun Shop and made the mistake of telling him. He was all butt hurt that I bought a gun and it was a machine gun. This was in 1985. He's dead now.

The guys I heard these stories from were from Johnson City, but had relatives in that area.

The rural Appalachians don't have much to do besides hunting, drinking, and screwing, so......... Well, now there is the pill-popping and meth, too.

No meth or coke in Y-12 or K-25 plants. Too much fissile maerial in there. I have heard stories about workers putting their radiation badges on smoking hot uranium and cooking the badges. After they were read by management they didn' say a fucking thing about it. The man will let you get cooked and ignore it for insurance and worker's comp reasons.
