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 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.
