Monday, May 30, 2005 Fire And Brimstone Are Next We had quite the little storm yesterday. Starting around three o'clock, the sky went from mild overcast to dark. And it stayed dark for about an hour. Then the thunder started to roll in, but it was quite distant at first. The trees started blowing and the thunder kept coming. At about ten to four, there was a rather close crack and I decided to shut down the PCs and just watch TV. Not five minutes go by and I was standing in the living room, talking to TheBoy when there was a brilliant flash, everything went out, and thunder ripped somewhere above the neighborhood. It was so instant with the flash that I was mildly concerned that maybe everything was fried. Then the rain came and it was unholy. For awhile I couldn't see across the street it was so torrential. The storm drain couldn't handle it and the whole street flooded.  Then, about halfway through it, there was hail. At first, it was this funny pinging noise, but it got louder and heavier. Looking outside, it was like the Earth was being assaulted with moth balls.   With the power out we had to sit around and actually talk to each other. My favorite scenario is Earth Overrun by Zombies. With the power out, it's easy to imagine being the last survivors of the zombie hordes. How would we fortify the house? What essentials would you try to collect? I think Mike sort of got into it after I told him he'd have to learn how to use a shotgun. I figure that if you manage to thin out the hordes where you could make an escape, some of the best communities might be in Marblehead or Nahant, where you could have the sea to one side and a nice gated mansion walling the other three. From there, securing an armored transport of some kind to collect food and weapons and lots and lots of books. Starting with stuff on How Things Work. Eventually, I suspect life would lead to actually hunting and gutting game animals and I haven't a clue how you'd do that. Unless they were zombified, then you can just eat the shotgun. posted by Evil Wayne | 8:30 PM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
