When I was a boy, a pre-teen, the man on the TV said that a nuclear test would be done in Nevada at o-dark thirty.  I asked my Mother if I could watch it.  So she woke me in the night and I sat on the front porch, alone, in the dark, and waited.

Suddenly, from several hundred miles away, the night sky became day.  65 or so years later I can still see it as though it was yesterday.

If anyone ever goes to Vegas, the atomic testing museum, not far from the Hard Rock, is a great place to see some fantastic footage. It is small but there are lots of videos to watch.

If you need a second magazine, its time to call in air support.

God created Man, Col. Sam Colt made him equal, John Moses Browning turned equality to perfection, Gaston Glock turned perfection into plastic fantastic junk.

I was out there a couple years ago.  Sure wish I knew about that place.  I would have surely visited it. Definitely on the list for next time.

How about you?  Did mom say anything about a glow around you?  Dad?  School teacher?

I was alone, the family was asleep.  I don't recall any discussion about it.
