I'm good so far. I took in the neighbors' dogs -- this is not making the cat happy, but hey, quieter in the mean time, they were all flipping out outside. The cemetery southwest of us is on the far side of substantial construction; the construction itself isn't much of a barrier, but the abandoned cars are a better one. And besides, most of the food is in the opposite direction.
What I'm really worried about is the gas station a little ways away. It went boom. I don't know if the zombification factor is in the smoke. Hoping not, or I'd probably know by now.
If it is, well, at least my husband is at work -- they're far enough out to be relatively safe -- and he's got a batch of canned goods in the van. Plus, machine shop. They can make weaponry. And while we've both still got power and net, we're, uh, well, trading info via Pony Island. Nothing like pixel pony mail to make ZOMBIE MORNING a little more surreal.
Husband's got axes. I've got Dad's machete.
And power tools.
And, thank you October storm, the goddamn generator.
There's gotta be something useful I can do with a large quantity of pool chlorine, too.
