Did your family have a bomb shelter in the 50s?

Popular notions are ALWAYS wrong. If you don't know that,
then you've
haven't studied history and you're to young to have
learned it from
experience. Hardly a century goes by without doomsday
predictions becoming
popular notions. I lived through the global cooling
hysteria of the 70's, so
please spare me the ignorant ranting of the true
believers.

Someday the earth may cool to absolute zero or heat to a
million degrees. I
don't know. All anybody "knows" is what they think the
historical record
shows: that the earth gets really cold and the earth gets
really hot.

The rest is the clucking of hens.

Funny you should ask. In '63 my father built an underground house with
5,000 square feet. The roof of the house was 16 feet underground. It was
such a hit they had to move out and open it to the public for a year, just
to let the hoopla die down so they could move back in without the doorbell
ringing constantly. The house was featured in Life magazine and Walter
Cronkite had a segment called "Tu Tu's Tour of the Underground House." Tu
Tu was an 75 pound Chow Chow who loved cameras, posing if you just held your
hands to your face while saying "Smile." It was such a hit, my Dad built
one for the World's Fair in New York. Made the Wall Street Journal and
hundreds of papers across the country.
