Dangnabbit Where Did I Park?
Ever leave a store only to find yourself wandering around the parking lot trying to figure where you left your vehicle? It’s happened to most at one time or another.
If you’re focused on finding your treasured four wheeled transport do you really think you have a keen sense of domain awareness at that time? Would you even know if danger was lurking? No, probably not.
Criminal minds love to find easy prey who are wandering around aimlessly looking for their vehicles; snatching a victim has never been easier. These wanderers are distracted and focused on only one thing at that moment, “Dangnabbit, where did I park?” Continue reading
Woman Strangles Raccoon
This is a news story from last year, but it’s one of my favorites to illustrate the power of becoming fearless when you or someone you love is in harm’s way. There was a woman in Connecticut who strangled a rabid raccoon. The coon was attacking a child; so she went into defensive mode and choked the animal with her bare hands.
Two important lessons can be learned from this:
#1 – When you or someone you love is in danger, you absolutely can do what is necessary to protect yourself and your family. The adrenalin will kick in and protection mode will ensue.
#2 – The woman was walking in the woods with small children. This just goes to show you that anything can happen in the woods. Be smart about where you are walking when you’re alone or with small children. Be prepared.
While this story could have turned out much worst, I’m sure the rabies treatment that the woman and child are undergoing is no picnic either! Let them be a lesson to us all!
Kudos to the woman for her bravery~
Quickie: ID Your Car Seat
If you have a car seat or a booster seat in your vehicle right now, it should also have a child identification affixed to the outer most portion of the seat.
In the horrific event that you are involved in a vehicle accident and rendered unconscious who will speak for your young children? Include the following information: Child’s name, address, emergency contact (other than you), age, height, weight, child’s photo and medical release signature. Make a wallet sized card on the computer, laminate it and affix it to the seat with Velcro buttons.
This simple step could save time and possibly lives down the road.
Drive safely!
