I remember the county agent coming to all the farms and instructing us all to cover our cows with Rubber Sheets, to keep the fallout from contaminating the milk. Yeah right! First and only time in my life that I saw my dad cry, as he brought the cows in. I will never, ever, forget the moment and pray it never comes again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-35740345392362774242011-01-31T11:08:42.719-05:002011-01-31T11:08:42.719-05:00The real problem with this is that we accept nucle...The real problem with this is that we accept nuclear weapons as a reality, instead of working to change that reality.<br /><br />To do something proactive, <a href="http://www.icanw.org/" rel="nofollow">check this out</a>.M@https://www.blogger.com/profile/13408488215496128814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-12412996629069691372011-01-29T16:21:17.244-05:002011-01-29T16:21:17.244-05:00Makes the plot of War Games almost seem posterous....Makes the plot of War Games almost seem posterous.The Motherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15157821003454766570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-34062600926659377422011-01-27T19:43:11.449-05:002011-01-27T19:43:11.449-05:00This oldie remembers the bomb drills and the missi...This oldie remembers the bomb drills and the missile crisis very well.

You know, the ones where we'd run into the halls, squat down against the walls with our hands over our heads? As if this was going to protect us. <br /><br />When I was in high school one of the social studies teachers was very passionate about the whole Cold War thing and literally scared the weenies outta me. After some of his lessons I would lie awake at night wondering if we were really going to be bombed into nuclear smithereens.<br /><br />In grade 11 my social studies teacher was a hippie - he got arrested in a big nuclear power plant protest (while I'm pro nuclear power, not on a frikkin island!) - who had us spend a lot of time on the Korean and Vietnamese "conflicts." <br /><br />I think I was about 30 before I stopped constantly worrying whether we were all gonna start glowing in the dark any moment now.Moosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10397412122635951126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-41536122028959589612011-01-25T18:00:52.868-05:002011-01-25T18:00:52.868-05:00My hubby was also a crew member/instructor on B-52...My hubby was also a crew member/instructor on B-52s (he jammed Russian radars)...<br />And Dad was a fighter pilot...<br /><br />Kim ~ we joked about the same thing ~ head TOWARDS the base so you don't die a lingering, agonizing death...<br /><br />Truly scary sheet...bobbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14353836074794786357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-49004317278386242622011-01-25T17:25:11.864-05:002011-01-25T17:25:11.864-05:0025 January 1995 was a Wednesday.
