Subways and Buses
I didn’t think I would ever have to write this particular post but I guess I was wrong. Recent news articles in DC and NYC have compelled me to say people, please! Just because you are on a subway or … Continue reading
Subways & buses (cont.)
Another thought about traveling by bus or subway: Try and sit near the driver. S/he may not help you but they can call for help or at least be a witness.
“Rape Whistles” (cont. from Oct. 30)
Back in October I posted about why I’m not a fan of “rape whistles”. Someone pointed out to me that you don’t have to carry the whistle on your key chain. You could carry it on a necklace or bracelet … Continue reading

Good Security is good business
Down in Florida there is another parking lot story: a waiter was shot in one and finally received a measure of justice. But they never found the shooter. What happened is that the waiter sued the mall where he was … Continue reading
It must be the season, unless there’s something in the Water
This is getting ridiculous. First there is the shooting at a Colorado Church and now there is the shooting at a Nevada School Bus stop. Before that there was the shooting at the Nebraska shopping mall. Clearly, people need to … Continue reading
