| I'm trying to figure out what sci-fi book I read in junior high, about 25 years ago. | |
| The book is post-apocalyptic although I don't know the nature of the apolcalypse: either | |
| nuclear and/or environmental. The story centers around a young man who lives with his | |

| Something is wrong with the air and they can't always be outside, or they need special | |
| breathing gear. I don't remember anything about the story arc, but at the end they go | |
| out to the desert and find a hatch that takes them to a passenger jet that is buried |

| with my promise that it won't happen again. | |
| The man, distraught, anguished and betrayed, went into his bedroom, grabbed his gun, |

Triggers: "Italian" vs. "Californian" Immediately think of Ferris Bueller's Day Off and the GT California Always wondered about that. Was there an Italian fixation on California, or is California a more generic name than I thought?
