lizziebelleThe small throng of zombies (I'm pretty sure that's what they were) never made it into our building, but we did lose internet and phones after my last post. We hunkered down in the art room and planned strategies for survival and possible escape. Fortunately, we never lost power, and cell phones seemed to be working just fine. Go figure.
A little after four, we saw a line of fire and police vehicles heading down the street, and reports were coming in that the zombies were congregating at the 99 restaurant, demanding brains. A quick-thinking sous chef there prepared a platter of ribs and then doused them with 151, bringing them outside so all the zombies could get to them. He then tossed a match into the fray and made a run for it, barely escaping with his life. The shambling mass caught on fire and went up in an incredible conflagration, darkening the skies over the plaza. The fire department stood by to make sure nothing else caught fire, while the police devoured popcorn and generally kept back the public. The last I heard, the staff were roasting marshmallows, and the sous chef was imbibing mojitos while the fire department put out the last of the embers. It was a total slaughter: sous chef 1, zombies 0.
We got the all-clear near 5:00, and since East Longmeadow was still in shock, the traffic was blessedly light.
I made it home just fine, seeing the occasional smoldering pile of zombies, and it looks like the resourceful folk of western Massachusetts have once again prevailed.
Maybe now the state government will come up with a preparedness plan?

In other news, I am inordinately sad about the passing of Tim Russert What a shocker, and what a huge loss to the political news world. He was a decent human being, and the best at what he did. My heart goes out to his family and his colleagues.
