Once a Deadite, always a Deadite.

Phew. I just got back in not that long ago. My neighbor, Richard called my house and suggested that we go out and try to cordon off the block and make the entire block zombie proof. I pointed out that the backyards of our houses would still open out into areas that weren't fortified. I can hear a cacophony of car alarms going off about a block away, they've been doing that for most of the evening. I saw one friend posted that he was upset that these infected people were being hurt. Sorry, my sense of self preservation dictates that I do whatever I can to keep myself safe. I'm sorry they were infected, but there's nothing I can do for them now. We must move forward and protect ourselves and think of the future of mankind. We didn't manage to take back the entire block, but we did manage quite a pile up of cars on either end of the street within a few houses of mine. We have seven houses cleared out and fortified now. Too bad about Mr. Laker. I always liked him. Good thing we still have power over here and that we built a couple of bonfires out on the street. I was so busy with the .45 and my machete (Thank goodness Dad brought that back as a souvenir from Vietnam, it really came in handy today) that I never would have heard Mr. Laker coming up behind me if Richard hadn't shouted at me, "The British are coming! The British are coming!" Really, I can appreciate his ironic use of history references now since the Lakers are from England, but he could have come up with something a little faster to shout as a warning. I swear, if he didn't have a collection of swords we can utilize I would be tempted to tell him we were going to go it alone. I managed to whip around and block him with the machete and fire a couple of rounds into him. Very sad. He was a Grateful Dead fan so now he really is a Dead head, I guess. We've heavily boarded off the back doors that face out into the backyards of all the houses we reclaimed and the zombies don't seem to remember how to climb fences so I think we're good for now. Just the same my house is going to be taking shifts keeping watch. James finally showed up this evening, before we blocked off this corner of the neighborhood. He was at work when this mess started. Apparently when his unit heard the news his patient jerked, causing James to stick himself with a non-sterile needle. I'm going to be keeping an eye on him and he won't be taking any of the watch shifts. I've seen enough zombie movies to know how that would go. If anyone from my friend list can still read this, good luck out there and stay safe. I saw that Dragon's neighborhood doesn't have power anymore. Maybe someone was trying to get out of town and took out a power line near her place.
