Finding a source of salt and new sources of food such as armadillos are successful innovations. All three together adequately portrays the fear and apprehension of people in the 50s. Fortunately for them, Fort Repose was not directly nuked and escapes the worst of the radiation; they even have electricity and plumbing for a few days. I think it is important to plan for the worst and hope for the best. Au sud, l'ordre établi chancela.
