Approaching your car part 1
In my last post I said I would write a bit about safety in parking lots. So here goes with the first tip: When you approach your car, look around before you get there. That’s right–before. That means as you … Continue reading
Parking Lots
I saw an article in the local paper this morning–somebody was walking to their car in a parking lot and suddenly the lights went out. When he woke up his briefcase, laptop, jewelry, wallet were all gone. No idea what … Continue reading

By now many of you have read or seen CNN or the various news media and the talk about the woman who drove a car into a crowd at a Washington, D.C. street festival. A lot of people got hurt, … Continue reading
It’s summertime!
And you are out enjoying the late evening daylight. And so is everyone else. I saw something in today’s Washington Post which caught my eye: crime increases as daylight increases. So, just because it’s a nice night and you are … Continue reading
Use Your mirrors
Yesterday I was out driving. Just a normal run to the stores. I pulled into the parking lot and suddenly noticed that someone was following me. All the way to where I park. No place to drive away. So I … Continue reading
