Default Boats,

What the hell is ice skateing?

Dr. Strangelove was a great satire. Loved how they threw in Col. Bat Gwano and his theory that florination of the water was a commie plot. (actually the more I do read about florination and how it has broken down the fillings in your teeth and put more mercury in your system, a carcinigen, I wonder?) And you have to hoot at the name "Gwano". Also loved Slim Pickens as he rides the nuke out of the B-52.

We all had to do the duck and cover stuff. What's great is going on E-Bay and searching under "Civil Defense" and seeing all this stuff for sale now. Fallout shelter plans, fallout shelter water, etc.

Got myself a great addition to our 1938 home. It's from the Civil Defense Authorities, printed in 1942. Got it because of the upcoming war. It's a window sticker with a picture of a home on it with a big red "V". It says THIS IS A "V" HOME. On the back it lists the reasons why it's a V home and there is a place on the front for your Air Raid Warden to sign it making it "Official".
