Jul 1, 2009 ... Bruce J. Coates, 54,of Ocean View, died June 21 at Kona Community Hospital. Born April 6, 1955, in Kansas City, Mo.

I just googled an old high school friend and discovered he died.

One time,when we were seniors(1973), at lunch I slipped a hit of LSD into his ham salad sandwich.
I remember watching as he bit into it and it crunched and he quickly swallowed it.
After lunch I told what I had done and he said he hoped not because he had to go to work right after lunch(work/school program)
I told him not to go, to call in sick, but he insisted on going.
He was working on a forklift and all he could do was giggle and laugh and finally his work sent him home

He was good friend for a few years.

The 2053 nuclear tests and explosions that took place between 1945 and 1998 are plotted visually and audibly on a world map.

As the video starts out detonations are few and far between. The first three detonations represent the Manhattan Project and the two bombs that ended World War II. After a few representative minutes the USSR and Britain enter the nuclear club and the testing really starts to heat up.

Even though the video does not differentiate between sub-critical "safety" tests and full detonations, you get a good idea of the fever of the nuclear arms race.

The time line does not extent to tests by North Korea (October 2006 and May 2009).
