subject: Protect Myself Walking [print this page] On most people's days off work, I would be found peddling no-additive produce at the local market we residents put together. When they return to work, I handle requisitions. It is no wonder I am synonymous with my homegrown vegetables.
I meander along and offer my tray contents door to door. People I know tend to be a sweet potato short of a good meal or desperate for better broccoli. Call it my fitness regime. Besides, I protect myself walking by bringing self defense devices with me.
A book diversion safe, an actual book hollowed out in the center for storing valuables, stays in my bag. You would not know it but my sunglasses are a spy camera. If I am calling on neighbors out of the blue, I figured I had better record it.
A dog repeller spray comes in handy whenever I come across a mad canine, or another pepper spray if I neglect to bring any. Plus I use a safety light or personal alarm with flashlight to protect myself walking after sundown.
The gravest danger I have met so far came in the form of a beggar turned mugger. He had the appearance of a homeless person and I only approached him to offer the arugulas I had.
He ordered me at knifepoint to produce all my money. I pulled my cell phone stun gun out and went for his arm. Was I grateful I have self defense devices to protect myself walking!
The attacker kept still, debilitated by my stun device and consequently dazed. The knife slipped from his hand. Relieved that I always keep my baggage lightweight, I quickly fled.
I am not surprised that others ask how I protect myself walking, but I get dumbfounded when they ask about my walking. It is just one more reason I find promoting greens to be timely and called for.
