This goes for men as well. Many of you may need to change your life to be safe. Just be more aware of your surroundings and use lots of common sense. I find birders are often startled if I don't make a noisy approach. Someone out to rob a person will certainly notice this. You can be careful without letting it ruin your life. Not being careful can lead to your life being ruined. ======================================================================= To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey ======================================================================= =========================================================================
