Road test

I really truly believe that all drivers should have to randomly take the road test every few years. I know that the elderly get a bad rap for being horrible drivers, but I think that teenagers and college age kids are just as bad. Between rolling through stop signs, not using blinkers and not having your headlights on when your wipers are on, I think I yell at more drivers for these simple reasons than cutting me off or not doing my standard "5" over the speed limit.
I will save my rant for the handicapped driver at Costco for a later date...

Zombie Apocalypse

I know that I am not the only crazy person that thinks about it. Ya know, it may happen some day. I tend to sit and think about how we can zombie proof our house and how long we could live on the food that we have on hand. I just hope that when it does happen, the zombies are more like the "Shaun of the Dead" zombies and not the "28 Days Later" or "I am Legend".
We have already decided that the basement would be our best place to hid out (except there is no bathroom), but secretly I picture us barricading the whole house, especially the first floor despite all the windows. I figure we would have a little time, so Dennis can spend the time blocking all the windows while I run to Menard's and grab all of the shelf stable food possible along with any tools that can be used as weapons. I would probably stop at the local gas station too! Lots of low nutrition, but shelf stable foods there (not to mention beer:). And screw paying for it, we are in the middle of a zombie apocalypse.
