The Limerick, Pennsylvania Nuclear Power Plant Siren Wailed

The Limerick, Pennsylvania Nuclear power plant siren wailed yesterday at 1400 hours December the fourth and probably broadcast further east, west, south and north. That shrill ear-piercing emitted sound quite painful despite measurable diminution regarding my audiological ability, which loss of hearing linkedin to senescence. Nevertheless, yours truly startled in his cockpit seat (actually a rickety metal stool) regarding: semi-Annual Test: which penetrated and filled the volume of ether for two minutes, which seemed like an eternity scheduled to occur (based on Google) at fourteen hundred hours the first Monday in June and first Monday in December. A monthly, (albeit abbreviated) test also assails ears in general, (minus those not yet hard of hearing) courtesy the auricle (pinna) the visible portion of the outer ear. It collects sound waves and channels them into the ear canal (external auditory meatus), where sound amplified. The sound waves then travel toward a flexible, oval membrane at the end of the ear canal called the eardrum, (equipped with a pair of invisible cymbals) or tympanic membrane assaulting delicately jiggered linkedin magnificent network courtesy deafening blare subjecting surrounding suburbia to a monthly test, which sounding of siren also occurs at fourteen hundred hours on the first Monday of every month, except June and December. Worse case scenario regarding nuclear power plant would constitute 'China Syndrome" or more horrifying disaster synonymous with Chernobyl disaster, but no doubt humanity since acquired greater sense and sensibility without pride nor prejudice in tandem with developing fail safe technological ingenuity and abiding faith to prevent global radiological fallout. Offtimes I marvel at the longevity of unbridled Western Civilization, ingenious methodologies at warfare in general, and killing each other in particular whereby webbed wide world of humanity analogous to veritable ticking time bomb subsequently impossible mission to remain psychologically calm most certainly no escaping the threat even livingsocial within Guam (though located among Pacific Islanders), cuz Naval Base Guam ranks as strategic U.S. naval base located on Apra Harbor and occupying the Orote Peninsula. In 2009, said American military outpost combined with Andersen Air Force Base to form Joint Region Marianas, which serves as Navy-controlled joint base. The Ship Repair Facility, Guam, conveniently located next to Naval Base Guam, along Apra Harbor, and above named spit of land natural result of subsurface tectonic terrestrial processes. Geologists have stated that the island of Guam and the Marianas Islands created millions of years ago by active volcanoes. Guam constitutes the largest of the group which includes Rota, Saipan, Tinian, Agrihan, Anatahan, Alamagan, Pagan and Aguijan; the only uninhabited island among the group.
