Heya @darkfae,
That sounds about right. I feel that everyone was more or less split into two factions over this crisis. We had the people speed racing to bomb shelters, hiding in make-shift safety, and running for their lives. Then the second group like your cousin and my friends who realized early on that we were not going to survive a nuclear holocaust, and wanted to make the most of the remaining time.
I bet he tells you some crazy stuff yeah? Hawaii really is as magical as he says c: The jokes are still going on, but the hype is already gone. Miss the apex in the blink of an eye. If we were struck forreal, you and many other people the world over would not let this slide. But yes, thank the heavens that it didn't!
Mahalo,
