It was a spooky thing to see all those shelters. It seemed as if every public building used to have one of those yellow and black radiation warning signs with the shelter capacity posted on it.
Military rations, drums of water, first aid supplies and so forth.
I read the Russias hasve the subways system in Moscow set up as a shelter.

Shows you how little I knew.

Dribs and drabs to AIG, here thirty billion there another thirty billion, about 185 billion so far.
Nobody talking about the 63 TRILLION in Credit Default Swaps. Because we can't handle the truth. What other open secretes are there.
These are the good old days, I am sure of it
Kids are so sweet and trusting
They will never miss the going world
