Walking up to a drinking fountain can be cool and refreshing or violent and deadly.
I'm not referring to the germs that you'll find on some public drinking fountains.
Have you ever watched how people use a drinking fountain?
Most of them just push the button and stick their face in the water.
Although you might see a few of them look around slightly side to side before they drink.
You may also notice them looking around while they drink as they try to stay alert.
These alert people remind me of an ancient warrior named Gideon.
When he brought his men to take a drink at a stream, he watched them carefully.
Those who lapped up the water like a dog, oblivious to their surroundings were sent home, but those who were alert, looking all around while they drank were deemed fit for battle.
So what do drinking fountains and Gideon have to do with you? Good question.
The point is to stay alert when using a public drinking fountain.
Also keep in mind that you can push yourself away from the drinking fountain to quickly move away or defend yourself more quickly if necessary.
If someone gets really close to you and they have a weapon you could spit the water at their face to make them blink right before punching their face. Then get away.
Although, considering the cleanliness of some public drinking fountains you should try to always have bottled water with you so you can bypass the fountain.
Have a great week!

Its amazing what we can endure
Its amazing what we can endure.
Veteran police officer Peter Soulis was shot while checking on a suspect who was parked at a gas station at around midnight.
Then a gun battle began between the suspect and officer Soulis.
Soulis was shot several times, but the suspect was shot
22 times.
The suspect lived for 4 minutes afterward.
It's amazing what the human body can endure.
If you ever get shot, just realize that it's not over like they show you in Hollywood movies.
If you're alive after the first shot, chances are that you'll survive if you can get away or stop the threat.
I would learn some good self-defense to help you learn how to get away and also how to stop this type of threat.
I also recommend that you avoid gas stations late at night.
Be strong,

What a gal!
Recently two illegal aliens, Raphael Resindez, 23, and Enrico Garza, 26, broke through the front door of a home where 11 year old Patricia was home alone in Butte, Montana.
Patricia was upstairs in her room when the two men broke through the front door. She then ran to get her father's shotgun.
As Resindez came to the top of the stairs, Patricia defended herself by firing into the man's mid section. The wound was fatal and he never had a chance to use his 45 caliber handgun.
Thus the first threat to 11 year old Patricia's life was stopped.
Then Patricia noticed that Garza was about to come up the stairs and fired upon him as he then fled out the door and died out on the street. This second threat to Patricia's life was also stopped.
Thank God she was the clay shooting champion since she was 9 years old. It probably saved her life.
We never know when our life will be threatened but it sure helps to be prepared.
Be safe,

President takes cover on Pennsylvania ave.
President Obama was walking down Pennsylvania ave., surrounded by secret service agents when suddenly he was escorted back into his limousine.
Someone saw a risk or a threat and the new president was taken to safety.
You probably don't have secret service protection, but whenever you see the signs of danger, you should take cover also.
It's not wise to just keep going and suffer the consequences.
This may require us to swallow our pride, but it's better to humbly arrive at home then to proudly arrive at the cemetery.
This reminds me of an old proverb...
A wise man sees danger and protects himself, but the fool continues on and suffers harm.
So remember seek cover whenever you see danger.
All the best,
