John Fleck in the Albuquerque Journal tells us about a giant blast in Nevada June 2nd. It sounds fun - a new kind of "burning man" thing for munitians experts.
From the Washington Post:

This is the largest single explosive we could imagine doing," said James A. Tegnelia, director of the Pentagon's Defense Threat Reduction Agency, which is conducting the test.
ParTY!
The blast is not likely to be felt or heard outside the 1,375-square-mile test site, and the cloud of dust is expected to dissipate quickly from view, Morgan said. "They don't think people will see it in the base camp on the south end of the test site," he said.
Disapppointing. What good is saber-rattling if you can't hear it?
The cloud will dissipate from view. Who's gonna get to breathe it?
Yeah, but boy howdy does it make damn fine espresso!!
