Hmmm... (Not Rabbithole!)

I was endlessly amused to get an email from a good friend about my Rabbithole posting. "Grim", was pretty much the judgement.
I laughed a little, as it was a funny post (complete with shocked smiley - like this :-0 ) and then reread the posting to see how right the friend was.
I suspect I may be walking at right-angles to the rest of humanity here, as I actually thought it was quite an upbeat posting! OK, it's set after a Nuclear War, but the war didn't affect us here in the UK - (apart from killing our chickens and cutting down on strawberry production). We're not dying from fallout (one of the nastier ways to snuff it, I can tell you), and apart from some large scale loss of life in rioting (entirely predictable in cases of global political change) we're just getting along with things in a different manner.
But then, this is from the woman who collected pictures of dead people to use in "Call of Cthulhu" games, can tell you ranged survival rates for 1990s nuclear weapons (I lost track when I left the industry in 1995 or so) and thinks that "The Last Samurai" has a happy ending.
Maybe I'm just odd.
And that thought makes me happy :-)
