I was thirteen when this was going on and I remember riding somewhere with my mom that caused us to be stopped at a rail crossing. It was nothing but flatcar after flatcar of tanks headed east. I thought it was the "neatest" thing to see them go buy in a seemingly endless line. Those boys were getting ready to do some business down there in Cuba and my mom wasn't letting on. We also had a nuclear attack drill at school during this crisis that required us to time ourselves to see how fast we could get home by ourselves. We also had to bring back a diagram of our homes showing where we would stay in case of fallout alerts. Meaningless to me then but not now.

Ex nihilo, nihil fit . . .
