I have a beef horror story to tell. Far western Colorado was once the site of a lot of uranium production. When they had gotten all the ore they could, the big mining companies pulled out leaving behind radioactive tailings and just a big nasty mess in general. The feds stepped in to do what cleaning up they could. Everywhere there are settling ponds that are fenced off with big warning signs. Ranchers still graze their cattle in these areas. One day I was driving around there just taking in the general distruction. I came across about 10 cattle who had trampled the fence down around around one of these settling ponds. They were drinking away, obviously not having read the sign. It put me off beef for months!
Beef - its what glows in the dark!
