Re: Oak Ridge: We left when I was pretty young, but I remember exploring in the woods around our neighborhood and finding tall chainlink fences topped with barbed wire just appearing in the middle of nowhere. I also remember that commercial airplanes were not allowed to fly over and were "escorted" away if they strayed.

When you're racing - it's life. Anything that comes before or after is just waiting.
It's near 32nd and Lowell just around the corner from Chipotle and across from a little deli called Heidi's.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Nukes freaked me out as a child but I can't remember any nuke nightmares then. My older brother did tell me stuff about how our military was the strongest in the world, so that make me feel safe until I got to Jr. high age.
Oddly enough, I did have a nuke nightmare around the time of the first Gulf war - I dreamt I was in Iraq when a nuke went off - it wasn't close enough to hurt me, except I was pretty sure I got a near-lethal dose of radiation. Oh, and for some reason I had to wade through a radioactive river. I remember thinking that I had a few hours to live.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Thanks!

They also have great drinks, and as far as the sushi goes, I'm a big fan of the Caterpillar. Enjoy your time in Denver! And, check out what the Question of the Day is in the bar and you might get a free drink out of it.

I remember when I was in hs and there was a tv movie about nuclear war. I think it was "The Day After." It totally freaked me out. I had the same feeling at the first ep of Jericho. No tears this time, though, just kind of sick to my stomach.
because (2) the sketches are NOT funny. They need to stop showing them.
I'm with you on this, Tep. The rest is just so good.
edited because The Day After is not exactly the same as The Morning After.

I had a middle school teacher who loved to talk about nuclear war and the effects of such on the skin of people. Nightmare material.

When I was a kid, our pastor gave a sermon where he talked about the effects of the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Stuff about people's eyes melting and skin being burned off and what-not. Freaked me out. I forget what his point was.

The only real nuclear memory I have is of my college physics professor talking about standing on a beach in the South Pacific with his physics colleagues and sipping martinis as they waited for the test blast at Bikini Atoll to go off. He said they were knocked off their feet and were very pleased.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I remember The Day After, but it gets mixed up in my mind with that scene from Terminator... 2? The dream sequence or whatever it was where Sarah Connor is standing by the playground and... boom.
Well, that was vague.
