A list of thoughts on this read:

1. I'm glad I read it. And even more grateful for a great realtor who told us about Rocky Flats and steered us away from Arvada and the Boulder-facing side of Golden.

2. Bravo to Iversen for shining a light on the story. While her personal narrative often seemed like yet another loose thread that didn't always contribute to the whole, her style has made the story of Rocky Flats more accessible to many.

3. At the same time, it is such an important story that the loose threads and weaving of anecdotes made me a little crazy, as did the present tense narrative.
