General Discussion

to the basement, where there were black and yellow radiation placards.

I am sure I didn't understand the implication then. The placards stuck around in school basements, in my early years, even after the drills stopped.

I know the implication now.

And here we are, as I am all these decades older.

We now know better than the naivete of the drills.

I can't write this without acknowledging an almost tear. My pain and angst is for the younger ones of today...not myself.
