re: #492 calochortus
But those blackout curtains were great for movies and filmstrips. It wasn’t until years later that I knew why we had had them. I don’t recall that they were going to take us anywhere. We would presumably just die quietly under our desks (not that it occurred to me in elementary school.)
Our duck-and-cover drills for nukes were also used for tornadoes (which we had a marginally better chance of surviving).
