Aug 3 11 3:06 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I hadn't seen that, Reegs. Very interesting, as is the link at the end of this article regarding the 5 Reasons Why You'd Welcome a Zombie Apocalypse. For some weird reason -- perhaps related to the films I've been watching -- I've been considering how or if I'd survive such a situation. And the short answer is, I wouldn't. I'm just not prepared -- multiple guns, but no ammo; live in a typical Tejas suburban area where the homes have lots of windows, are only 8 feet apart, so there are plenty of residents for a zombie virus to infect, depending on the type of virus/radiation/whatever that starts the process. This article is right on the money, IF (and that's a great big IF), the virus/radiation/whatever doesn't spread so fast that you have a situation similar to what happened in the first episode of The Walking Dead -- guns don't help that much when a couple of hundred hungry dead folk are bearing down on you. The other problem is that not everyone is gonna band together and help each other survive. Someone will have a can of spinach in their cupboard that the next-door neighbor badly wants, and knowing that zombies don't like spinach, there's a likelihood that the next-door neighbor might conveniently miss a couple of zombies and take out a couple of your windows, providing easy access. There are other considerations, but it's already apparent I have too much time on my hands. Heat wave, summer vaction, etc. I'm staying indoors but I haven't barricaded the windows yet. ... Reed
