Maybe all that lead in my system from growing up in a mining town will shield me from the radiation?
We used to say that Webb City was immune to tornados because of the updrafts from the mines. Tornados always seemed to leapfrog ol' Sucker Flats,
and they would hit and miss around Webb City and Galena, but never strike in town.
Perhaps it has will have the same effect on Plutonium?
When I was 16, I was dating a girl from about 30 miles over, and the first time I met her mother, she said, "I knew it. 5 minutes with you, and I
can already tell you have that 'Webb City Superhero complex.'" She said it laughing, and I still got to sleep with her daughter, so I didn't give
it much thought, but later on in life, I realized my little town of 4000 people had NFL stars, Nascar drivers, famous actors and actresses, engineers,
pretty much every state athletic record there is to hold, a top academic ranking in the U.S., a Little League World Series championship, and many
other things that just seemed normal to us.
Just last summer a friend of mine was at a pool in L.A., met a pageant contestant dating a producer, started talking about his friend from Missouri,
and lo and behold, she knew me! We used to pay her little brother to let us peep from his closet to her shower, LOL! When I got a little older, and
moved out, we wound up having some wild party nights with her. Hollywood producers got nothing on us Webb City boys!
Complex? I dunno, but.................
Bring on the Kryptonite....errrr Plutonium!
