I am soooo glad that I grew up in Canada. I even grew up in Victoria - where there we have our West Coast Naval Base. We had nothing of the sort of 'drills' in school to prepare for a war of any kind. Thank goodness!

Confession: The Nuclear War Stash
have any of you read "On the Beach" by Nevil Shute or seen the movie? (with Gregory Peck and Eva Gardner and many others)
It's a post apocalyptic tale that gives you pause to think how you would end your life if you had some time.
I'd probably take up pot smoking again :H and tiptoe through as many tulips as I could find.The untold want, by life and land ne?er granted,
Now, Voyager, sail thou forth, to seek and find.

90+ days yay!

I'd go to MRPH and have the greatest rompem-stompem-hot-jungle-sex-known-to-man(WOman)-kind.
Of course, we'd still be in the throes when "it's-all-over-now-but-the-grinning-and-exhaustion" ...
I am soooooooooo bad, hehehe.
Pot? Hell no. I'd take body washes and licks of Grand Marnier. (I have a reservation for 2 at the Purgatory Hilton, btw).

Well if I knew for certain the end of the world was coming and I found it, I would drink it. To numb my fears and anxiety."Keep your eyes and heart focused on the end goal at all times, and never settle for less."

My dad built a bomb shelter in the basement. I live across the harbor from the spot where the LNG tankers dock. If something happens there, I'm toast. Maybe that's why I started drinking. Nukes don't scare me as much as LNG.
Our mayor does nothing about security. I would bust my a@@ to get to his house and pour it down his throat. Then I'd head to the Bahamas and find Chief!

I wouldn't drink it for these reasons:
1) I don't believe a damn word from the media. even our own media. I would think that there has to be something I could do to survive and i'd never figure it out if I was wasted.
2) I didn't buy all these survival supplies to let them sit in a box in a time of crisis!!! I'd be geared up and ready for anything, and so would Dx.
now we just have to think if it's possible to make love while wearing Level4 body armor and wearing a gas mask. hmmmmmmmm.nosce te ipsum

I was thinking about On The Beach too. I don't know that there would be time, but if I had the time, I'd drink some of the best wine I could find, and smoke some ciggies too. If I had a lover, I think I'd spend the time with him and definitely with my daughter if possible. People are more important than substances.
I'm not too worried about nuclear war, per se. Whoever thinks about dropping a bomb must know that it means the end of all of us, including themselves. Except the terrorists, who don't care. I would like to think that a certain amount of sanity would prevail for the rest of us when it comes to nuclear bombs.
Interesting thoughts, Neil.

I would choose a clear frame of mind. Not only would you be better able to take advantage of any possible escape routes, but to enjoy those last moments with the ones you love.
And honey, I think if you put your head there, and I lifted my leg over ....
