And here's some fuel for thought: this wasn't a special order. It was just out in the display case, on the off chance someone was having a nuclear power plant themed occasion worth celebrating.
HOW WELL THEY KNOW ME.

In 1900, Walter Hubbard donated a park to the town of Meriden, Connecticut. A firm believer that every community should have a green space, he insisted it always remain free for residents to enjoy.
Today, Hubbard park is open year-round with multiple sites to explore.
Every April since 1978, it hosts the Daffodil Festival, when more than 600,000 daffodils fill its fields as far as the eye can see. The event is free, and includes carnival rides, food trucks and fireworks. But beware: you will get fined if you try to pick the park's cherished flowers.
In winter, visitors can explore the annual Christmas light show, the Festival of Silver Lights. It transforms the park with over 300 illuminated displays, including animals, flowers, stars, and enchanting snowflakes dangling from the trees. Over half a million lights are used to create this winter wonderland.
Overlooking the park is Castle Craig, a medieval-looking stone tower offering sweeping views of the greater Meriden area. Visitors can also try to spot wild animals, including deer, foxes, and on rare occasions, bears and bobcats, near the reservoir's islands. Multiple hiking trails lead to the castle, including a bridge that crosses highway 691, surrounded by expansive foliage.
Keep an eye out for a black dog, too. Local legend says the ghostly hound brings joy if seen once but a death omen if seen three times.
