PARALLEL FUN CONTEST: THE FAILURE OF FLIGHT

That Nike missile is in the Marin Headlands North of San Francisco. Nike Missile Site SF88L is open to the public once a month on the first Sunday. It is a completely restored site (well, not the warheads). You go down a stairway and climb up on the missile elevator platform. They open the overhead battery doors and you and the Nike ride the missile platform up into the sun where the Nike is erected into firing position as seen in the picture.

Great fun, and I -am- glad they were never fired in anger.

In addition to your son being a yogic flyer ?
