Grantbo’s Atomic Mailbox

My atomic mailbox stand has been acting up lately.

As many of you know, I ‘acquired’ an old but live Atlas atomic warhead at an Air Force surplus auction about 8 years ago. After a series of issues that resulted from trying to employ it as the pump power supply for my backyard water feature, I eventually had to put it across the road to hold up my mail box. ‘Had’ means my DW told me to.

So about 3 months ago some kids came by in their pickup to swat at mailboxes on my road with a big baseball bat. The kid who tagged my box swung a bit too low, connecting with a large access panel. The high schooler had no idea that his vandalism resulted in the cover popping open.

I didn’t realize what had happened until about a week later when the mail lady came by to let me know the cover was open. I went out there to check it out only to find a bird’s nest in it; eggs, pissed off momma bird and all. This created quite a conundrum for me since I didn’t want to disturb the nest and risk losing the new crop of birds.

I left it alone. What happened next was really unexpected.

Grantbo, you continue to amaze me with your imagination! That was another typical Grantbo outrageous and entertaining read. LOL!

On one hand I'd like to get to know the brain that has such an imagination...on the other hand it would probably scare me to much.

Grantbo you are one strange but funny writer. That was great. Thanks.

So, what city did your birds nuke?
