My kids can't figure out why I'm laughing so hard. That was awesome!

How about dialing a long distance number on a rotary phone, and messing up the last number.

Call waiting used to mean you had to wait for the other person on the PARTY LINE to finish.

Just wait until the kids see what we wore in the late '60s and early '70s.

I remember doing them a time or two in elementary school...I guess after that, they figured we weren't worth saving.

We had a film and a lecture then drills monthly for a while. You may be right, figured we were not worth the effort.

I think we called them "Duck and Cover" drills. "When you see the flash..." Elementary school - Yep, remember those. Odd thing was we lived in a part of NE Indiana where the closest thing worth nuking was some 40 miles away. Back in the day, that didn't make much difference.

Grew up right by the Allisons plants and Navel Avionics is here as well. Indy was like 6th on the nuke list.

Yes, the were duck and cover drills.

[Mr Evilwrench]

Duck and cover! Yeah we had NAC, Eli Lilly, the Chrysler foundry, Allison Transmission, the refinery (that pentane flame was awesome on a dark and stormy night) later on Dow. We were a serious target, we would've been MIRVed seriously.

There are still some old nike bases in northwest Indiana in lake and Porter counties. One outside of Portage is a paintball range called Blast Camp.

I also remember all the "fallout shelter" signs on a lot of the buildings downtown...

When you watched TV, you had to watch what was on.
No DVR, VCR, Netflix, or whatever
