The 60's . . ah . . it was the best of times, it was the worst of times . . . we had fire drills at school and it was common knowledge that if the Russians nuked us, we would be protected by our desks at school if only we crawled under them. . . the media showered us nightly with footage of the war in Vietnam . . people in general were tired of a long war that seemed to just drag on and on because it was being conducted in a politically correct fashion. . the tie dyed tee shirts you see today aren't authentic looking as the dyes are too bright . . we thought our hair looked good all "ratted" up six inches high, girls didn't wear britches to school at least for part of the 60's anyway . . nothing was really as it is depicted in the "flower children" land that Hollywood creates . . like now, though, there was too much stimulation in the environment and things moved too fast . .
My dad built us a fall-out shelter--underground. It wasn't NEARLY as big as that one in the movie "A Blast from the Past"!!!!!!
