Every house has a good wine cellar from this initiative, it seems. Hard to fault that. As far as I know, no-one has ever invaded Switzerland either, so they must be doing something right. Besides, you might consider a fallout shelter like the proverbial pistol in Texas. You might never need it, but, if you do, there's nothing else that will do the same job ;-) Just a pun, folks, not to start a firearms thread, OK?

Of the countries I think would need a fallout shelter, Switzerland is probably 300th on the list. There must be a reason I haven't thought of though, other then needing a lot of wine cellars. In any case Ken's photo is really good. The color is perfect as is the mixed message on the door. Len On Apr 22, 2007, at 9:00 AM, Nathan Wajsman wrote: > The Swiss are much more sensible than this.
