Zombie Infection Update

     The title is a bit misleading, I suppose. The update does not mean that Gameloft has updated their game, but merely that I want to tell you guys how it's going in my quest to stop this zombie outbreak, down in South America.
    This game gets better and better as it goes along and I have had a blast with it. It certainly has faults, but it is definitely worth the $4.99. Last night I played it for several hours and made steady progress. I love how the writers wrote the script for this game. I was trying to find a ship, down at the docks, and went into a big building. There was a huge pool, with dead bodies floating in it. I wanted to drain the pool, but when I cranked the drain valve open, it only drained half-way. So, guess who had to climb down there and do the job manually? Not to my surprise, I was attacked by zombies and yet another alligator. The dudes who wrote this had a landing built over the main floor and I fled up there. It was probably my only hope for killing this alligator. He was fast and aggressive, but like most of his breed, he was unable to climb ladders. I had to take the occasional break to kill a climbing zombie, but I kept pouring bullets into the scaly hide of the gator until he cashed in his chips.(died) Then I was in an area stacked with cargo containers and a zombie on an overhead crane was dropping crates on me. I had to climb the crane which towered over the open ocean; quite scenic, for a game. Once up there I had to deal with zombies and to my surprise, a bunch of mutated, attacking birds. Luckily, there was a tripod-mounted machine gun up there  and you definitely want to use it in your battle with the birdies. The birds are really angry. The older heads among you will think about the Alfred Hitchcock flick, The Birds.
    I am currently stuck on what I believe to be the ultimate boss battle of the game in which mutated sea monsters are coming over the side of the ship. I may have to go to you-tube and check for a way to beat the thing.
    This game is fairly deep, (lots of content). The writers did a creative job and other than the things noted yesterday, I highly recommend it.

The White Chicken Mystery

    The other night I happened to come home very late. It was the middle of the night and I was driving up a steep mountain road. Near the top I saw something white in my headlights. It was standing in the other lane, standing very still. It was a large white chicken. It was probably a rooster because I thought I could see his comb as I whizzed by at my customary pace. He never moved a muscle. This is weird, don't you think?      After a couple of days to consider this phenomenon, I have come up with some plausible answers for his bizarre behavior. 1. He was conflicted whether or not he should cross the road. 2. He was feeling cocky and decided to play chicken with the traffic. 3.He was being hen-pecked at home and had decided to end it all. 4. Someone had egged him on to do it. 5. He had just watched the movie Fantastic Four and decided to try to stop a truck the way that Ben Grimm did on the bridge. 6. He had driven himself crazy wondering if ...

Egg Art

     Hey, everyone. One of the odd customs in America is the Easter Egg Hunt. Here at the Green Retreat, we do a hunt every Spring. I just ran across some of the pictures from this years hunt and it is obvious that an artist had sneaked into our midst. The orange egg is a rendering of one of the Angry Birds of gaming lore. If I were a bird and had to pass an egg that size, I would be angry too. Ha, ha.      We typically will dye about 10 dozen eggs and people get quite creative with their quotes and colors, as you can see. Many of the eggs are a bit risque for these pages. After having a few laughs, we hide the eggs. All of them are never found, which is cool. It is amusing to see old men (me) and all ages of folks, walking around with a basket on their arm. Some of the hiding spots are dastardly. Like eggs hidden in the guttering downspouts and ten foot up a tree. The kids are perhaps the most devious at hiding the colorful orbs, goi...

The Biscuit

    Hey, everyone. What a relief that Christmas is over, huh? I don't think it was meant to be the way it is.     I started thinking about the so-called good 'ole days today. My wife says that at her house, they would take a left-over biscuit and shine their shoes before church. I one-upped her by saying, "Oh, yeah? I ate the biscuit when everyone got finished with it. And I was grateful for it." Truly, though, you can and people did, shine their shoes with a biscuit. Hey, they were greasy little buggers.     Speaking of greasy little buggers, I remember when everyone had wells and were very conservative about water, particularly those of us who had to crank a handle up and down to get a bucket of water. There was no daily bath. (No showers in those days, mate.) About twice a week we took a bath and here's the recipe: The oldest kid took a bath first, then the next oldest etc. You can see why younger siblings hated the older. Bathing in the...
