The Biggest Sports Non-Story of the Year
One small aside from the ongoing zombie invasion:
Earnhardt to join Hendrick Motorsports
You've gotta be kidding me.
Paris Hilton's jail-time is more relevant than this story, and it's big news in the sports world today.
If there's anything more superfluous to the sports world than the NBA it has to be Auto Racing.
Inconcievable!

The Zombies Attack - Part 2
1:20pm
Things have gotten worse. I don't know how long my internet connection will last.
I'm going to try and sort things out in my mind.
The undead birds won't stop thumping against the window. Half-roadkilled possums and raccoons attempt to get into my trash for food they can no longer eat nor digest. Animated dogs, cats, gerbils, parakeets and even a few fish crawl and flop across the driveway, looking for sustenance. All the live animals have fled - even our own cats and dog have gone to ground inside the house.
I can't get an outside line on my landline or my cell. Cable's been intermittent. All I see are the various websites and blogs that are reporting on the variations to the theme around the country.... It sounds like this is a widespread thing, and there's no explanation.
Except that everywhere but here, apparently, there are zombie humans. So far, thankfully, I haven't seen a single soul. Or unsoul. Whatever.
None of the neighbors have made an attempt to come out...well, except for old man Finkel across the street. He came out for the paper, still half-asleep. Our other neighbors old huskey that died 6 months ago took him down quickly and....doesn't look to be quite done with him.
I don't dare open the doors or the garage, because who knows what holes they could use to get in the house. I've piled up furniture against the glass doors out to the deck in the back, but that's no guarantee - only enough to fool anything into thinking there's no actual entrance there.
It's all over the web - the dead are rising from the grave. Except here it's just the animals.
What's next?
What's ne-- wait, what's that noise???

The Zombies Attack - Part 1
9:02am
It started with a moan.
As I woke up this morning, I heard what I thought was possibly a low helicopter or maybe several leaf blowers in the distance. When I went out to get the paper, the noise persisted, although it seemed to be coming from all directions. And something just didn't smell right... There were low clouds, and the world seemed to be holding its breath.
The family had already left for the day and I was by myself. I flipped on the Today Show and all I got was static...no NBC, no ABC, no CNN, no HGTV, no Scifi Channel - no Knology cable at all. Something was definitely amiss.
I fired up the laptop to see if I could tap into some sort of news feed when I saw a flicker of a shadow outside the window. Glancing up, I wondered if my wife had returned home for some reason. As the laptop booted, I pulled back the window curtain--
--to see my recently deceased and formerly buried cat staring at me through the window.
I don't recall much from the next few minutes. I found myself sitting on the floor, staring at the back of the house so I couldn't look out the window. Shaking my head I risked another glance out the window and the cat was gone. If it was actually there in the first place.
I looked out into the yard - there he was again, near the tree licking a paw. Except..well it wasn't really a paw anymore. Mostly the remains of a paw. And a dessicated tongue. I quickly closed the curtains and sat in the chair quietly for a few moments, thinking of nothing. I reached out and opened a browser on my laptop.
Thankfully the wireless internet connection was still active. I slowly typed in cnn.com and got the dreaded white-page-with-black-text-from-over-access, last seen on 9/11. The headline on the page slowly appeared:
And underneath, several linked stories:
Now not only is my dead cat sprawled contentedly on the grass outside, two half-rotted dobermans just trotted down the street, one holding a recently-living squirrel in its mouth. I suspect the squirrel will be up and about soon.
I've decided to stay indoors and live blog the event as long as I can. I can't reach anyone by phone, and I just hope my family has sense to stay indoors wherever they are.
Help us..

DEAD ANIMALS RETURNING TO LIFE
And underneath, several linked stories:
Massive reports of dogs, cats, rising from graves
Undead elephants cause panic at San Diego Zoo
Central Park in chaos as reanimated pets attack joggers
Will we see dead people? Leading experts disagree?
Now not only is my dead cat sprawled contentedly on the grass outside, two half-rotted dobermans just trotted down the street, one holding a recently-living squirrel in its mouth. I suspect the squirrel will be up and about soon.
