Recent events should convince you that you need a place to hole up safely, whether it’s Trumpmaniacal insurrectionists or ravening hordes of Biden-Harrisites that you fear. Fortunately, the home of former Kentucky state representative C. Wesley Morgan is on the market for a very reasonable $6.5 million. For that, you get a luxury lakefront house on 200 acres, heated floors, a saltwater pool _and_ a two thousand square foot underground bunker with all the amenities. > **[Looking for a doomsday bunker?

C. Wesley Morgan, R-Richmond, says he started digging after Barack Obama was elected. I found the landscaping to be deficient, but I suppose that trees block your view of maddened socialists streaming over the Kentucky hills, and you need a clear field of fire to repel them. ---

My wife and I just put in a full-priced bid. I would like to finally and incontrovertibly answer the whole ‘urban vs. rural’ thing. Besides … what a charming little pied à terre it would make. ---

I’ve hardly been out of the house for the past year. If it gets worse I’m not locking myself in a bunker, I’m going outside. ---

Hah! About 20 years ago, when we were considering moving from our townhouse to a detached house, I picked up one of those “real estate for sale” free mags at the grocery store. There was one place, in our county, that touted having a bunker / bomb shelter / rec room in the basement. I quipped that it was some on-the-way-out political appointee’s place (DC suburb). Not nearly as sweet as the one described in that article, I suspect. ---

In a county to the north of my own the local high school was built in a converted missile silo. There is very little above ground. ---
