That $199 zombie protection kit? Don’t do it. In times of crisis, you want the best quality fit to meet your situation.

Make your own. Be creative.  Go to your shelter and  visualize daily life in hiding. What do you need? Mandalas to color?  1000 piece puzzles to put together? You might try shutting off your phone and other electronic devices, and taking a week’s vacation in the shelter. Preparedness may require mandalas and puzzles or other hobbies from bygone times. You want to think this through while you are still relaxed.

Stock the shelter now so you are not running around an almost barren grocery store asking the other lateniks, “Where are the baked beans?” The beans will be gone and besides, you probably never liked baked beans a whole lot in the first place.

Blenders are hard to use but brains are good with ice cream. Sometimes I get lucky and it works. 

A previous post, not far back among posts, though some distance back in time, raises the question of identifying the protozombie before it’s too late.

Can’t. We blew the whole converter assembly. Damn.

What? Oh, no.

Have to stop now. The basement has been compromised.

In any case., zombies seldom wear hats well. At least, not for long.

So you want to identify trouble before it starts? Separate the humans from those on viral overload? One place to start might be table manners. What does your date eat? How does your date eat? If we are talking about a family member, have their table manners changed? These are big clues. Why did the former vegetarian suddenly decide it was OK to eat things that had a face? Why is that steak rare for a change?

Preparedness. Alertness. Because those zombies aren’t going to kill themselves. Besides, it’s pretty interesting to watch some people eat.
