we live next to a navy base/weapons depot (in Indiana, go figure) and spent half of my school year cowering under a desk, practicing for the nuke attack that would inevitably hit the base (8 miles away from the school). evidently the powers that be believed those desks would protect us from complete annihilation. as for CA, we were always hearing that the “big one” was gonna hit them and they would be broken off from the mainland and sink. wrongs all around, huh?
