As a kid growing up at the end of the cold war and in the blast radius of DC, my family's plan In Case of The Big One was simple: go up on the roof and watch the fireworks together. Seemed much easier and more fun than the alternative.

Impossible to describe the terror I felt as a kid watching UK Public ads on how to survive nuclear war.My dad berated me for moving the screwdriver kept aside for taking doors off and building a shelter. That screwdriver was the thin line between life and being irradiated @doctorow.pluralistic.net

My dad had a sangfroid parenting style: To my first-grader's question about what'd happen if a nuclear bomb were dropped in the neighborhood (Tactical Air Command Langley USAF, near Newport News), he replied with nonchalance: "We'll be vaporized." It sounded not painful. I moved on.
