Hell, I pray for some sort of outbreak/natural disaster that would allow Pinky and I to rule the world! On a serious note, all those things could be very helpful if for some reason, ANY reason, that the infrastructure fails. It could be zombies, an asteroid, or it could be civil disturbance, the world is not exactly living in perfect harmony...

you know....in all sincerity I completely agree with you. It is a scary world....now more than ever. Anyone read the book or seen the movie "The Road"....?????

If anyone stalks me online they know that I obviously do not have alot of interest in leaving my house anymore. I have this illusion that I am "safe" here......so one "morning".....4:30am.....I am standing in the kitchen gazing out the window....Feb so it's pitch dark....but there is light from a street light in front of the house....pretty bright at that......and all of a sudden ...I hear....or maybe just sense....something like a sound...and the entire world lights up brighter than the sun. I always thought that phrase was BS.....but this was a light so white....so brilliant and pure....it was stunning. It only lasted for maybe 30 seconds....if that.....yea...probably much less than that....an few instants.....I shook my head...literally....and thought...."excuse me???? WTF??????" ah...okay....I'm not exactly normal.....but um....that was a little over the top.....my first instinct was to wait for the pain because I figured....okay....stroke....massive brain bleed....blew out my retinal pathways and any second now it will be blessedly over......no such luck......so I thought about it cognitively for about a minute.....and then did the only sane thing I could think of. Dismiss it....it simply did not happen. Period. Two days later I pick up a newspaper and find out a meteor had hit ground zero somewhere in the county. And the sciency types were asking for anyone who had seen,heard or found any trace of it to call in and report. Screw that.....I was just happy to know it wasnt the onset of middle aged schizophrenia. But it did reinforce the thought......it's a scary,scary world! hehehe.....thank you for listening. that is all.

I haven't been that close to a meteor strike but I do remember one on the 4th of July several years ago. Everyone saw a blue/green streak going down instead of up and we all just kind of looked at each other for about 15 seconds. I said "Did you see that?", and the general reply was "I don't know... Did YOU see something?" and "I didn't see it if you didn't see it". It looked like it landed in a field about 50 miles away but it actually landed about 1500 miles NE of us. We could see the flash from where we were, so I can imagine how bright it had to be if you were a lot closer!

All that aside, don't lock yourself up in your house. The whole point of life is to live it all! Sugar wouldn't seem so sweet if you'd never tasted a fresh lemon... Just follow the rules for leaving the secured perimeter ;)

WTH....the zombies stole my post.....and i have to type it again. hmph.

Dear Brain, I wanted to know how to incorporate my unruly dogs in my perimeter defense so they're part of the solution not part of the problem...I'm not so much worried about meteors, since I haven't been close to a strike, and my hallucinations are fewer recently.

Short answer to help protect your four legged family members is to armor them up. Boiled leather with some thin steel or thicker aluminum plates over the areas that don't see as much flex. Bolt some nice spikes (bite defense) into the leather wherever it won't interfere with their movement. It's easier if they're docked and clipped since I can't think of any way to protect a wagging tail that wouldn't hinder them. The biggest problem is the other end though, without some sort of immunization, there's no way to prevent infection through ingestion. Blood and saliva go both ways :(

I'm pretty sure that in the event of the zombie apocalypse that meds will just get in the way. At the point reality will be even more to be avoided than it is now. Is Bill into zombies? can he understand the need for squirrel armor?

So, I spent yesterday making a Raku pottery kiln with a friend (and playing with a puppy named zombie). Don't know why i didn't think of it before, but a weed burner/flame thrower is a must have home defense item. Since it's attached to a propane tank it's not too portable, and not a long-term solution, but that sucker gets hot and can shoot flames a nice long distance. Zombie Flambe!

Do you mean the People for the Eating of Tasty Actors? :D

I think mother nature took care of armored rats already, they're called Armadillos!

edit: Maybe it should be the Postmortems for the Eating of Trekkie Actors instead? Yeah, I think that's more appropriate somehow :D
