>>But I grew up with MAD, so nothing scares me<< Amen, Sister. I grew up on Air Force bases. My father was in the Strategic Air Command, and was a navigator/bombardier. We were all supposed to be proud of the fact that if/when WWIII broke out, our dads were going to be dropping hydrogen bombs on Russia and China. I remember how tense things were on the base during the Cuban Missile Crisis. I was too young to understand what was happening, but my mother, glued to the television for days, made it clear that Russia might attack us at any moment. We were planning to go down to the basement if that happened, like we did for tornadoes. Between that and being married three times, nothing scares me, either. ;-)
