As I said in my last post in a nutshell, hope for the best and prepare for the worse. Next year's home improvement project was supposed to be a fence. Now it's a fence and a bomb shelter. Because if Trump kicks off a nuclear exchange, my house is 6 fricking miles from center of D.C!
(We don't bother with them in Ottawa, either - and we're a somewhat less-attractive target than D.C. is.)
