patgundYesterday's run on zombies and the like was a VERY interesting thought experiment.
One of the more interesting aspects of it was looking at one's immediate enviroment and seeing what resources one had available. This is a good mode of thought to cultivate in case of an emergency or disaster.
I was really happy when people started IMing me asking "Okay, how would I leave SD or LA if the main freeways were pooched?" Both because I could draw on my experience with old highways and the like, AND because it showed me that I have some gaps where LA is concerned. Both are good things to know.
Was a fun way of doing a disaster drill.
I may have to throw $15 to Zombie Squad. I like how they use the whole "zombie attack" thing to teach disaster preparedness at SF/F conventions and the like. *Very* cool indeed.
And it may not be a bad idea to teach something along disaster preparedness lines at an SCA collegium sometime either.
It's also interesting to note my priority range. Which was:
1) Make sure Little Bit was safe
2) Make my way to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
seattlejo soonest.
To do both, I had to make sure *I* was okay first. Very odd way of thinking. I'm used to putting others needs ahead of mine, realizing that sometimes, in order to do that, I had to put my immediate needs first in the queue.
Asseattlejo tells me sometimes "drive safe, (I'm) precious cargo"
