This list was generated while I was waiting for others to finish looking around a deserted bowling alley built on the Test Site in August of 1965. It was remodeled in '76, '81, and abandoned around 2002.

Wow, can I have your job? I'd love to sit and count stuff. I guess I just walk around and pick random stuff off the floor all day. A little like your job, I guess. The snake carcass gave me the heebie geebies though! Eeek!
Isn't it funny what people throw away. Even more funny is what they keep.
P.S. You might be a Wood Badger if you draw your totem on abandoned chalkboards. :)
The really sad part is that I have actually bowled in that particular bowling alley. Before it was abandoned, of course.
