Now that website with the Tucson Titan II site is more of what I've seen
before, when we wer stripping and crating the sites at Little Rock. Even
many of the panels are familiar looking, as is the "No Lone Zone - Two Man
Policy Mandatory" which has been changed to "two person policy" since the
late 80's/early 90's...oh well it at least brings back a sense of reality
anyway.

Does working around nukes so long have anything to do with why my wife keeps
thinking there's a nightlight on when I come to bed? (grin)
