A LOT of couples met there. The gov't made a point of hiring women to work at Los Alamos, and sponsored plenty of "social events" to help stir the pot in the self-contained little community they'd created. When Kubrick modeled Dr. Strangelove on Robert Oppenheimer, he did it in ways that few people could really appreciate.

For some reason the rural private phone company where we live installed fibre-optic back in 2000. We ran into a guy who was on the crew a while back; he tells us we have the best system in Canada. With maybe 3 houses/km on our road, we have high-speed that lets both me and the mr live-stream Netflix at the same time. I can never move.
