Preparedness

Tam sums it up nicely:

If you are prepared for the dead to walk the earth in search of human brains, then a hurricane or attempted mugging is no big deal.

I'm more prepared for a hurricane than the living dead, but I should be okay for a while in either event.

And while you're preparing, here's a handy tip. We used dimes in the Army. Somebody says quarters are harder. Now I'm wondering what the physics implies.
