I'm 71 years old and dating.

Uh...a nuclear calamity could be an improvement.
At least you have a target rich environment over there in Evingston! My 37 year old brother is newly divorced and dating. Says it's pretty rough. If I ever find myself single again I will probably just turn into a monk. You forgot to claim your TOTP, Goob.

If a nutcase decides to push the red button, I sure don't want to have failing health and a slow death from fallout. Make it go BOOM directly on me.

Goob, Have you considered possibly trying the "Russian Women Exchange" policy?? I know a guy that did that and his wife is a great gal and funny as hell! Could help in the event of a Nuke.

That's my hope. Beyond health, I don't see much joy in surviving a post apocalyptic hell hole filled with human violence running rampant.

That said, I'm guessing his red button would be tactical nukes against soldiers or Ukraine.

Let's hope he's just a rat in a corner trying to bluff his way to a deal.

Great advice, thanks.

Think I'll dig up my beets and make 5 gallons of borscht. :)

I'm going to find that old school desk they made us hide under in 1956. That'll work just fine. At least that's what the told us.
I also remember them telling us to run home to hide.

We did have a couple of those bomb proof desk that we bought when the school district upgraded but got rid of them a long time ago. Boy was that dumb.

Yeah, great idea.

I grew up in Tornado Alley so we had "under the desk' practice for tornados and nukes.

Those were the days.

You guys made me laugh. I was sitting at my desk when the Magna earthquake hit. I thought what the heck is that by the time I processed it being an earthquake I thought should I jump under the desk or stand in the doorway. By the time I figured out what to do it was over. Funny how school training from 50+ years ago would pop back into my head.

We had tornado come through town one May. We watched it from History class come barreling towards school. Not following our traing, we all bailed from our classroom and went to the shower rooms in the gym. The tornado turned and tore up the town just blocks away.

The Kennedy and Khrushcev Cuba missle crisis was the same year. We practiced a lot then.

...... First off, I guess if a Russkie nuke scores a direct hit over Happy Valley, it won't matter much how much food, water, or ammo I have in the pantry or safe.
I am not sure what reason the Rusko's would have to nuke HV. If nukes ever fly they would not waste any on Utah except maybe one for the Dugway stash and one for HAFB.
That being said, nukes or no nukes, we have a few years worth of stash for emergencies including but not limited to a nukie session.
