The fun's not over. I tried to return the door, but no one was home at the armory. Oddly enough, the gate to the lot where they keep the machinery was wide open. Granted, there's a lot of hardware inside there - little Humvees of various flavors (jeep types, radio trucks, ambulances), and enormous amphibious-looking vehicles with tires that you probably need a crane to help change it off the axle.
The sad thing - in a way - is the armory will soon close and allow for a homeless shelter. It's comforting to know if rogue forces were to invade Burbank, there's some guardianship nearby to thwart the opposition. What will we now have to battle the enemy? Cots and MREs for the indigent?
On a serious note, it's interesting to see how cheaply constructed the door is. Now it's clear what the soldiers in Iraq once had to put up with after running over an IED. A pair of nail clippers could shred the door apart.
