Zombies?
We keep hearing that someone hacked the electronic road signs in the Austin, Texas area. Culprits apparently changed the signs to warn motorist of zombies. It sounds like some Quentin Tarantino film in which a few untouched people hack the signs in one last desperate attempt to warn all uninfected humans that fate is about to overtake them in the form of the walking undead.
When traveling in Arizona we saw signs warning of flash floods. We also saw signs telling us how inadvisable it would be to pick up hitchhikers because of the possibility that they might be escaped convicts sticking out a thumb in order to lure us into a trip into hell. (I'm embellishing the signs' wording. I'm sure authorities thought it best to keep signs brief.) This marks approximately the fifth time this week that real life has made me think of Mr. Tarantino's work. And the week isn't over.
