            5 As a highly trained academic researcher, I spend a lot of time trying 
            6 to advance the frontiers of human knowledge. However, as someone 
            7 who was born in the South, I secretly believe that true progress is 
            8 a fantasy, and that I need to prepare for the end times, and for the chickens 
            9 coming home to roost, and fast zombies, and slow zombies, and the polite

           12 quiet moments, when I'm not producing incredible scientific breakthroughs, 
           13 I think about what I'll do when the weather forecast inevitably becomes

           17 If James Mickens looks like he is a highly trained soldier killing
           18 zombies in the doomed lands of System Programming,
           19 that is because James Mickens is a highly trained soldier killing
           20 zombies in the doomed lands of System Programming.
