Perhaps the BeeHO bomb. When everything falls apart, you'll
have to fight off the Gimmees who'll see you have stuff and
attack you to get it cuz U be rich an doan dezerv nutten.

It's amazing about the number of people who are buying bomb
shelters now because they fear the consequences of the actions
of the current administration. Heck, I just try to stay under
the radar and not attract their attention.

They did survive in Japan. Admittedly a bit smaller yield
than modern bombs.

Perhaps this is time to get active, and head off the worst
of it? What's that quote? The only thing needed for evil to
succeed is for good men to do nothing.

I'm not too afraid of the gimmees, lots of ammo & shooters. But to
want to survive a nuclear blast, is beyond my desire. We grow much of
our own food now, but to have to purify water and try to make fuel
seems a bit more struggle than being blown to bits. Death is
inevitable anyhow, I'm not in a rush, but not trying to live forever
either.

Do you really want to survive a nuclear blast? You have to come out
some time, and life will be pretty challenging.

Perhaps the BeeHO bomb. When everything falls apart, you'll
have to fight off the Gimmees who'll see you have stuff and
attack you to get it cuz U be rich an doan dezerv nutten.

It's amazing about the number of people who are buying bomb
shelters now because they fear the consequences of the actions
of the current administration. Heck, I just try to stay under
the radar and not attract their attention.
