Keep safe everybody

What's ironic is that two decades after the end of the Cold War, all the old 1950s and 60s atomic civil defense infrastructure in the US has pretty much gone to seed. The air raid sirens where I live are either rusting in place or have been removed, and the air raid shelters in most local buildings are either sealed off or are used for storage. Most of the fallout shelters signs have been yanked too.

So, if the ICBMs come, I'll be standing in the middle of the street to get it over with as quickly as possible. But, that's what I probably would have done thirty years ago too.

Maybe as a nod the modern era, I'll quickly tweet #deadnow.
