Oops

I just noticed something.

I'd made a "what if" version of myself from Twilight: 2000 on the assumption that I was in Florida.

A fair assumption since I came down here in late September 1997.

What I'd forgotten was I'd driven back to Iowa to get my stuff and was at my mom's in Ames for Thanksgiving that year.

I'd have been in Ames for the general nuclear exchange.

It's my party and I can change it if I want to...  In the T2K universe I got my stuff earlier and was here for Thanksgiving.

I like the Dunedin militia version of the character better.

What it raises is the question of where was FuzzyGeff when the bombs fell.  If we time it right, he's down here helping me move for Thanksgiving.  It hardly matters, I suppose.  Without his medication, asthma prolly gets him before anything else.

  1. Did Des Moines get hit with a nuke? Odds are Omaha/Council Bluffs got hit, as did KC.

    1. According to Challenge magazine #27: No targets in Iowa. Offut AFB got a 1.5mt hit. KC, KS gets 0.5mt.

      MacDill AFB in Tampa gets 1mt, but nothing on the nuke plant at Crystal River or the power plant in Tarpon Springs...

      If there had not been a massive panic, Florida was well poised to recover quickly. New America actually is on track to get that started. Fascist racists are nothing if not efficient.
