This is interesting, in a personal way, to me.

Back when I lived in Grand Junction, Colorado, I was in my doctor’s office one time when the nurse casually mentioned that GJ “has prepper doctors.”

“Huh?” I responded. “Prepper doctors?”

She explained that someone had done a study in the Sixties that determined where the fallout was likely to happen in the event of a Soviet nuclear attack, and that in every scenario studied, Grand Junction didn’t get any nuclear fallout.

Now, GJ is 250+ miles from any major city. Denver, Salt Lake, Albuquerque - all 250 or more miles away. It has turned into a medical mecca.

And doctors who were also preppers moved there.

I went, “Wow.” And noted that there is a Prepper store right across the street from one of the hospitals. Hmmmm.

I’m guessing that this is the study that started all that.

Ironic, because you know where most of the uranium for America’s nuclear weapons came from? Yeah, Grand Junction.
