The scene looks like some time in the 50s and anyplace with a Lucky Auto Supply has got to be in America.
Zen Yogi: why do they wear these over thirty years after they were ever needed in WWI?
There's a whole lot about this picture which has no answer, Yogi. If the need for the mask is so immediate, why do they walk past the men like gas mask fashion models?
Zen Yogi: study of the Zen did not prepare me for this, Silas
Well, Yogi, I doubt much of anything prepares you for this.
Zen Yogi: how come the men in this emergency hang about like the downtown hipsters just taking a quick break from making scads of money?
Sometimes the best questions are the ones which lead to more questions but sometimes they're just dumb questions. This picture looks like a dumb question from top to bottom. This was during the early days of the nuke terror so what possible use do they think a gas mask might be.
Zen Yogi: dumb question
Roger that, Yogi.
Zen Yogi: is this what happens to people when there are no cell towers?
We see in the pic there are no cell towers so it seems reasonable to conclude the towers protect us from this with all the radiation they produce.
Zen Yogi: radiation, Silas?
Sure, since practically everything radiates. The WLW radio channel in Cincinnati was broadcasting at 500,000 watts and there was reliable testimony people could pick up the signal with only the dental work in their teeth. Powell Crosley was behind it and he's a legend in Cincinnati.
Zen Yogi: did that actually cause any harm?
Unknown, Yogi, but I would have been kind of annoyed if I went into a store for some kind of macho thing but I opened my mouth and a Patsy Cline song came out.
Zen Yogi: so we should be thankful for cell towers?
Not really but I don't have an answer and that one seemed like a peach.
