unexpected
Tonight I stepped off the train at 5:45pm and saw the last bit of orange and red sliding from the western sky. It was a slim bit of hope that bolstered my spirits and filled me with warmth.
the undead are in Austin — and are city employees!
A couple pranksters changed the message on two portable road-traffic signs in Austin, TX recently. They were warning drivers, and rightfully so, of the impending zombie attack.

Little did the hackers realize that the zombies are apparently already on the Austin Public Works payroll. See this sad-to-the-point-of-amusement quote:
"Even though this may seem amusing to a lot of people, this is really serious, and it is a crime," said Austin Public Works spokesperson Sara Hartley. "And you can be indicted for it, and we want to make sure our traffic on the roadways stays safe."
This attitude, this complete inability to laugh off a harmless (yes, harmless) prank, especially during a time of severe stress and anxiety in our nation, is just sad. Criminal charges? Indictments? Give me a break, Austin Public Works. You were 0wned on 2 whole road signs for part of one morning. Get over it and move on.
