Gusts of cold wind are scattering dead leaves across a sidewalk, and somewhere nearby a pulley is incessantly clanging against a flagpole, and I wish I could get into that fallout shelter!

During fallout emergencies will the freemasons be required to refrain from inflicting their creepy rituals onto the gathered shelterees. Ha ha the "raining missile" graphics on fallout shelter signs look like Trivial Pursuit gamepieces don't they.

 

I am architecturally sad to have the full expression of the fascinating grid of ornamental Xs be interrupted by a bulky and cumbersome air conditioner but I can understand that people would want to try to be cool in summer.
