Alaskan SourdoughWhich "doth" thy wind blow.......???
Can be information of value.
ALASKA is a "HARD COUNTRY for OLDMEN". (But if you live it wide'ass open, balls'to the wall, the pedal floored, full throttle, it is a delightful place, to finally just sit-back and savor those memories while sipping Tequila).

NormanConquestO.K. just out of politeness, is it cabin fever or can you explain what you're talking about?

NormanConquestYou did pique my interest though. Now I'm trying to recall lines of Robert Services' poetry. Unfortunately I am jaded by my favorite, "The Cremation Of Sam Magee".

Aspen Hill AdventuresI too am not sure what this is a reference too? Perhaps the issue of prevailing winds if nuclear fallout?

Alaskan Sourdough"Exactly". I am in a deep valley, such that wind here is only North or South. With South wind being roughly 65% of any breeze or wind. The only (remote) military target with-in-100 miles, is West-West-Northwest.
I have come to learn that ICBM are not very accurate. And if targeting a massive city in America, a miss of 15 or 20 miles still does massive damage. However if they missed An Alaska Military Base by 3 or 4 miles, they pretty much wasted ammo.

Alaskan SourdoughDoes anyone know if launched from a Submarine, is the warhead/rocket substantially more accurate/precision then ICBM launch?

NormanConquestTechnologically speaking, we as the public will be the last to know. I recall in Brownell's "Gunsmith Kinks" book after the Chernobyl meltdown that there were gunsmiths on the west coast that used rainwater for their blung salts. They claimed that after the wind shifted, they had barrels that glowed in the dark; the customers thought that was a nice touch.
