Hierarchy

Woke up from a dream that rapidly turned nightmare this morning.  Some of you were in it, and most of us were at least 15 years younger.  During a short drive in a self-destructing Accord, I saw entire squadrons of ICBMs launching, and only then turned on the car's radio to hear a very calm BBC voice announcing that tensions between blocs had finally pushed things this far.  I hauled ass back to my parents' house (the dream-house being very different from the real house), and that's when I made myself wake up.

The ICBMs, and those who know me may understand why this detail was there, were all Titan Is and IIs.  Dear God.  Even my dreams make use of stock footage.

I've got no idea where this came from.  It's apocalyptic, and therefore not meant to be taken literally, but it's rattled me a little bit this morning.

I discovered yesterday, and this will show up in games, that there's a 27-story Federal prison in downtown Chicago.

That sounds like a dream that would leave me rattled as well.

I had no idea this prison existed. Nifty. I'll have to make use of that as well.

The prison is the Metropolitan Correctional Center - Wikipedia has http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolitan_Correctional_Center,_Chicago

It's an odd-looking building, but looks just right for the M&M game.

Federal Correctional Institution, Ray Brook (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Correctional_Institution%2C_Ray_Brook) was always kinda intriguing to me.

"Hey, we're having an Olympics and there's going to be all these athletes coming. They need somewhere to stay!"

"Ok, we'll put them up in this medium security prison we're building!"

IIRC, the plumbing wasn't complete yet, so they had to use Porta-Potties.
