Yeah, except they always seem to be clean shaven! And who cuts Carol's hair? Now Daryl, he does look pretty stinky, but he does in real life too!

Absolutely. I love that the title of the show works on both levels like that.

I've absolutely agonized over Carol through her whole story arc. I dismissed her when she was a mousy, down and out abused wife. I cheered her for her new-found backbone when she stood up to her husband finally. I wanted to kick her in the pants when she seemed so aimless and useless, and then I cried for her when she lost Sophia. I was cautiously saying "You go, girl!" when she turned out to be one of the strongest ones of the group and took over a leadership role in the prison, but I questioned her teaching the kids self defense skills. When she killed and burned the first two flu victims, I was done with her. "We don't kill the living, Carol!" I remember shouting at the TV when she admitted that she had killed them. I wished the worst for her when Rick kicked her out, thinking it was a good thing to get rid of a murderer. But then, The Grove episode, and I got some real clarity about Carol. She's actually one of the strongest ones of the group, always has been. Carol does what needs to be done for the benefit of the group, no matter how hard it is. She's far from emotionless, she actually feels everything she has to do deeply, but she does it anyway because it's what needs to be done.
I was wrong to judge her so harshly. Carol is a total badass.

Hello to everyone and especially fellow PAcific NW'erners. I want to do a 5k a month and will travel to as far north as Tacoma (from Salem , south of Portland) or Eugene, OR for 5ks. Anyone else doing that? If so, what websites do you use to locate your races?
Thanks
