skibum Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 There have been 5 mt. lion sightings near the bike trail in the last week. So she is driving to school each night.I think pepper spray is a good way to go as well as something that will make a lot of noise. Link to comment

She'll be in a pretty public place the whole time...and not during bad hours. I like it. Plus, nobody's hurt if she accidentally uses it in a panic. Only 26 more days!!! Link to comment
BuffaloPaul Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 Where's Trigg? - sure he would suggest she carry a mop with her Link to comment
sylinchinastill Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 Frank- I think it is nice that you have been able to shield Jingwen from the bad parts of the city. I tried to do that with my husband in Memphis as well- but I always seem to get lost in the worst parts of town. My husband says I have a fetish for bad parts of town. Link to comment

nygatl15 Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 I think i'm in a "safe" part Atlanta, quiet ... family neighborhood... but a lot of it depends not putting yourself in vunerable situations, like being out alone at night.. of course she is safe with me, but when she gets a job, situations might change, there is more violent street crime in the US than China. Martial arts might be a consideration.... awareness is a big key also. This thread gives food for thought. Link to comment
BuffaloPaul Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 Jenny was very concerned about her safety. In fact she insisted that I buy a house with the master bedroom on the second floor so she would be safe if someone broke in. Think she may feel the opposite soon out here with the goats and sheep. Haven't locked my door since moving in Link to comment

Paul you live in a neighborhood that has both goats and sheep? How much better can it get? Link to comment

While KC has it's share of crime and stupidity, our house is in a very quiet area of town where neighbors actually know each other's names and socialize. Link to comment
