I remember our "duck and cover" drills when I was a kid. My school was only 2 blocks from a huge auto factory complex which would have been a prime target.

I remember asking my teacher what good it would do to climb under a desk when the entire school would vanish in a blinding flash.

She told me to shut up and get under the desk.

Ahh - the innocent halcyon days of yesteryear when all we had to worry about was the instantaneous vaporization of the entire city.

I hope you never lost your ability to question things.

Most kids today worry about stuff like “what if my IPOD battery loses charge?”
