Followed by a creepy man

The weather was gorgeous today, and easy to enjoy-- until you remember global warming and that it isn't supposed to be warm in early January

Wait...isn't there a rule against getting tattoos in Judaism? My ex told me there was, not that he was the most valid source of information ever...

As for Bathroom Guy, just....damn.

I guess Jewish is a religion but Zionist is a political ideology... and this guy was all about the latter?

I'm glad to hear you carry a cell phone. It may be time to get some mace, if you don't carry that already too. And a self-defense course could be awesome too. :) Stay safe.

Speaking of Zionism, the martial art I've been thinking about learning is Krav Maga, which was developed for the IDF. Unlike Oriental martial arts, it has nothing to do with artistic grace or spirituality and has only one purpose: to put the opponent out of business as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Thanks, Sherry! I bet I could make that method work for me. I've often been told my eyes are very intimidating in the primate sense when I do that, and when young I learned not to do it to my friends. I know I have the power. I'll look up IMPACT too. Good hearing from you, sweetie. :)
