As you probably have heard by now, most of the eastern seaboard is dealing with a little storm. There are a lot of closures and various emergencies being declared including right here in MA. Tonight I was at a party after work for a retiring colleague when my boss, at the request of another coworker, pulled up the MFA website on her phone to see if they were closed tomorrow. This is what she saw.

U.S. military trains for zombie fighting
In time for Halloween, the military put on a joint training exercise that features… a zombie attack. While I am amused to no end, I do respect the attempts by the government to get people interested in emergency preparedness by using zombies as a training tool. It’s just like what the CDC did not too long ago. And as Hurricane Sandy should be making apparent to everyone, some basic emergency preparedness is a good thing. I may get to spend some more time outside in the rain like I did for last year’s hurricane, trying to make sure people don’t drive into downed power lines. We’ll see.

Summer storm insanity
Yesterday I worked all day in Boston and then headed to a security gig down the street in Beacon Hill. When I left the house that morning, they said there was a slight chance of rain later in the day. I think it was something like 20%. So I had my little umbrella with me, thinking that I would be fine since I did not have too far to walk.
Well, the weather got a little interesting just after I got to my security job.
