Zombie Dogs Soon to Rule Over Us All

And on behalf of the entire population of the planet earth, I welcome our new masters and quickly point out that there are many others who are surely more savory and tasty than I. Surely you will need willing and complacent accessories to your dining, so count me in!

In a more serious vein, This story is neat in a real creepy way. Scientists managed to drain the blood of living dogs, replacing it with a near freezing saline solution. The animals stopped breathing, had no heartbeat or brain activity - they were clinically dead. Three hours later, their blood was replaced, and after a quick jump start of the ole' ticker, the dogs were revived.

Human trials "should be realised within a year". *Cue spooky, doomsday style music...*

Wednesday Double Shot Surf Report

With the wind showing up for my lunch time surf breaks, I thought it might be a good idea to try a dawn patrol session today. To make a long story short, it was the best surf in weeks, and I made the most of it. The water was like sheet glass, with peaks jacking up and offering shoulders to rip on, with lots of speed. Damn, that was great!

Lunch was windy, choppy, mixed up, etc. After the morning session, it was definitely a let down. However, this is the norm here during spring, so perhaps more morning sessions will be on tap for me.
