Considering the number of silos that used to be here... and the fact that if all were opened at once, the state would look like a slice of swiss cheese... it's not really a big deal.

I solve my problems like an adult, at the strip club drinking on a work night.

If I ever hit the lottery, one project on the list is to buy a missle silo and convert it into a home.

I remember seeing such a thing on the tube once, and thought it was WAY cool....  [thumbsup]

I've had the odd experience of scuba diving in an abandoned missile silo, in the desert of Eastern Washington.

Here's a story about the place.
