You Can't Be Serious
This is a story Doug Thompson told me the first time we met for lunch. It seemed like fiction but he swore it was true. Oooh, how I wanted to rush right home and blog it. But that wouldn't be good manners to steal the material from a person I'd just met. (Of course, I could steal his yarns now that we've known each other for four months, and he mine. All's fair in love, war and blogging.) Doug's weblog is going strong, and he's finally telling this interesting and curious tale of Floyd's mysterious role in the MAD strategic past.
“Land reclamation for Minuteman complex, Floyd County, Virginia.”
Comments
Got a long email from a DoD type this morning who suggested the facility may have been a comm center to missile guidance rather than a silo itself. Apparently, they scattered those things around in remote locations to ensure continued communications in case of attack.

Perhaps it was a repository for all the pork barrels.
