THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
Now . . . I gotta figure out a way to work that into a conversation <grin>
And to pay you all back, here's one of those lovely wartime rumors that was
running around Mediapolis at the time . . . I got it from my mother, who was a
high school teacher's wife, and they heard *everything*. In the darkest days of
WW II - shortly before the Battle of Midway, she said that they seriously
planned to put the entire plant underground, and camouflage it against air
attack . . . by building a golf course on top.
Doncha think a 162-hole golf course would be a little conspicuous <grin>?
