I feel sorry when I see them being loaded into the backseat of a car in 
their escape pods. My preferred location was standing on the passenger 
side floor with my hands on the solid steel dash of the '51 Chevy so I 
could see where we were going. The gray paint of the dash had two hand 
prints where it had been worn down to the red primer. Probably red lead, 
come to think of it.

If bicycle helmets existed I never saw one. Some kids didn't survive for 
one reason or the other but life went on.
