I woke up abruptly. Overzealous JROTC Cadets ran and yelled on the high school track across the street. I rolled over and grabbed my reading glasses. Time to return to the book which Id fallen asleep reading. Its Leo Strauss and the Politics of Exile by Eugene Sheppard. Thirty minutes later, I faced a tough choice. Should I go down and check on my children? Or watch an old Lomachenko fight on Youtube? Then my wife called up, Babe, its garbage day. Take out the trash! So I rushed downstairs.

Correct answer: “It’s nothing to do with North Korea”.

Think Humt for Red October, not a false alarm, real launch, missle intercepted. NK reported missing sub.....we sank it.

Faulty logic from hell.

If they come out too early there is a strong possibility of radiation sickness.
Did you forget the sarcasm tag?
Don’t look...but where was Helium discovered in the USA?
I actually dont think thats a very good answer to the sons question.
Ditto - lived near Davis-Monthon AFB when it had B-36 and B-52s. Add in the Titian missile silos surrounding town and Tuscon was in the middle of the target zone.
That’s OK, the State and Feds had no real plans, no real shelters and no clue. Kinda of like today....
The guy is a nut.
While the final sentence is good advice most of the time, it’s deadly advice if it’s kill or be killed, and he clearly doesn’t understand the world as it is.
Several of us carried an old wood Diamond match box. On them them we put the address of the designated community and a stamp. Inside the matchbox, we left a note. "If found put us in here and drop in any mailbox".
I grew up in the DC suburbs. I also never thought I would live to adulthood!
Trump’s fault. /sarc
PING!
