Nuclear Weapons of My Childhood
Who knew I was apparently in the midst of an almost nuclear war when I was a kid?

The article is about a missile site that we used to drive by everyday when I was a young 'un. When I say everyday, I mean every day. It was on the way into town from our farm, so for school, groceries, mail, and anything else we had to drive by what I knew as the Missile Site (By the by, the term "missile site" was one of those things that I realized was a little strange as I got older. Just like when I realized I hadn't heard a sonic boom for a while when I was in college). Little did I know that when little brother and I were playing "jail" in the barn, we were simultaneously under the aim of Soviet missiles. And people say there's nothing in North Dakota...
