You Don't Know the Sun

The Sun:

The sun was shining bright late this afternoon when I was walking my dog. Walking back towards my house I noticed how bright the road ahead looked. The trees seemed to be lit up and I could see several deer crossing the street far ahead. What a wonderful bright picture the sun made as it was shining from the back of me and slowly lowering in the sky. During the early, to mid-morning hours the sun is also low but rising.

What wonderful times of the day to be out walking, BUT,
while the sun is at your back it's also shining in the windshield of the approaching cars, blinding or, at least, severely reducing the driver's vision; therefore, he may not see you . . . WHACK, YOU'RE DEAD.

Tip: If the approaching car is not moving away from you, you move away from it by stepping off of the travel portion of the road.

Note:  Some people recommend that you always walk with the sun facing you, even though you'll not be facing traffic.  I prefer, as recommended, that you always walk facing traffic.  It's your choice.  It's your safety.  (This is not an issue if there are sidewalks).

You Don't Even Know Why You Tailgate

As most decent to good drivers know, that there are a lot of aggressive drivers on the road that tailgate, as they get angry if anyone is impeding their travel. But, what is not recognized by the majority of tailgaters is that we're pack animals. There is always a hierarchy within the pack.

The majority of tailgaters do it because they're lonesome. They need to be close to others, to be with a crowd, and to be recognized. These people, the majority of drivers on the road, need companionship, a friend and that it's merely a manifestation of their insecurity and inferiority complex. They drive in packs like wolves. When one of these drivers see cars up ahead, he must catch up to them, so he can be part of a crowd to soothe his loneliness.

There are three types of drivers that form the pack. The leader is happy because he has a lot of friends following him. Of course, that's not true as he knows none of them and they don't know him, but to him, subconsciously, he's the leader, the nice guy.  

The middle group of cars are driven by people who are just satisfied to be part of the pack. They at least feel that they belong.  

The cars in the rear are driven by followers. Those that don't have a lot of self-confidence, but, at least, feel that they are part of the crowd; therefore, at least, feel a sense of being accepted.

The mature driver, on the other hand, drives between the packs. It is done without conscious thought. He just knows, subconsciously, that he is comfortable by himself. Even on a busy highway, I find myself most often driving by myself. I can see a dozen or more cars a thousand feet ahead of me and the same pack of cars far behind me. One time, I drove from Hartford, CT to Philadelphia, PA through NYC on Thanksgiving and didn't encounter more than a dozen cars.

Message To "Unknown Region"

Welcome to my site.
Two days ago my site has been getting a visitor from "Unknown Region."  On my site is a list of 107
countries.  I know where they are, but where is "Unknown Region?"  Are you in the North Pole, or at
the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station?  If you're from outer space, that would be real cool!
"Unknown Region," was mentioned in the Star War movies, but it also refers to some vast areas on earth that are not specifically identified.  Some of these could certainly pertain to Northern Alaska or Siberia in Russia.  Whether you wish to divulge your location, or your general location on earth is entirely up to you.
Whether you do or not, you're still more than welcome to visit my site anytime.  If you tell me, please advise whether I have your permission to divulge it or to keep it a secret.  Or, you may put it on this site by clicking on the title and the Comments section will appear.

You Arrest The One Who Isn't Desecrating The Flag

But the five burly police officers of Valdosta State University couldn't find a better way to resolve the issue than to slam a female United States Air Force veteran to the ground and arrest her. -- Retired LEO.

You Think America and Canada Is Not At Risk

Sent to me via email by an American Patriot.
. 

So England doesn't like the US recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.  Imagine that! 

I thought this might give you a better
understanding of the insidiousness of Hijrah, that's the takeover of a nation without going to war. 

Don't think for a moment that America is not a target or that there are no American cities where Islamic and Sharia victories and takeovers have already occurred.  It's time for border control, or start planning for a very big goodbye to the American way of life…  Here's what has already happened to England   within a few years of opening their borders without any entry control:

How the British have passively succumbed to the Muslim invasion:

 Mayor of London … MUSLIM,

Mayor of Birmingham … MUSLIM,

Mayor of Leeds … MUSLIM,

Mayor of Blackburn … MUSLIM,

Mayor of Sheffield … MUSLIM,

Mayor of Oxford … MUSLIM,

Mayor of Luton … MUSLIM,

Mayor of Oldham … MUSLIM,

Mayor of Rochdale … MUSLIM.

All the following achieved by just four million Muslims out of the 66 million population:

Over 3,000 Muslim Mosques,

Over 130 Muslim Sharia Courts,

Over 50 Muslim Sharia Councils,

Muslims Only No-Go Areas across the U K,

Muslim Women … 78% don't work and are on FREE benefits / housing,

Muslim Men … 63% don't work and are on FREE benefits / housing,

Muslim Families … six to eight children planning to go on FREE benefits / housing and now all UK schools are ONLY serving HALAL MEAT.

… and we (the U S A) and (CANADA) can't decide on an immigration policy… ?

One of the ways to combat this is to keep circulating information such as this e-mail around our United States and Canada to inform the uninformed who mainly only listen and read the left leaning U S and Canadian radio / TV and newspapers.  I have not seen this in the U S

or Canadian media…

You Can't Maintain a Safe Distance

Going to the store and back, I traveled on the same winding, mountain road. Absolutely no cars within two to three miles in either direction; except for stupid.

Going, a truck started tailgating me, so I slowed down to give him the message. He eventually did, but the rest of the way he got close and then backed off, close, then backed off, nearly a dozen times. The road is two lanes with no passing-zones, so he couldn't go anyplace or any faster than I was going.

On my way back there was an SUV behind me that kept a safe, constant distance all the way. Here is one idiot that speeds up, then brakes, speeds up, then brakes. How uncomfortable is that kind of driving? The other driver just fell comfortably behind me and we did the eight miles in about 10 minutes. In other words, I don't impede traffic.

It's far more comfortable following someone than to lead, as the one following can observe the front car, and therefore, is helped in his driving. Years ago while traveling on a fog covered, slippery road at night for about a 100 miles, I tagged up with another car. We both knew that leading in that kind of condition is very tiring, so we leapfrogged each other every 15-20 minutes to help each other out. If you're a good driver you can easily spot another one, and without communicating, both just know what to do.  

You Believe Twitter Supports Free Speech

TWITTER CENSORS PRO-GUN ACTIVIST

BUT NOT DEATH THREATS AGAINST HER

Conservative activist Kaitlin Bennett, grassroots director of Liberty Hangout and recent Kent State University graduate, attracted controversy when she posted a picture of herself on social media sporting her graduation attire and one of those scary “black rifles,” in this case an AR-10. But when she followed this up with a picture on Twitter holding two pistols, captioned, “If I had a pistol for every gender there is,” the social media site suspended her account for “violating our rules against abusive behavior.”

Did Twitter also suspend the accounts of the users who tweeted death threats to her or encouraged her to kill herself? Not so much, according to NewsBusters: Messages such as “Take that gun off your hip, put it to your head, then squeeze,” failed to generate any punishment.

Given the asymmetry of Twitter's response, it's hard to see this as a corporation that supposedly supports free speech taking a political side. Bennett wasn't harassing anyone, but those who harassed her were given free rein to do so.

The young activist asked followers on Facebook to “let the world know Twitter does not welcome Conservatives on their platform.”

From an article in the NRA's America's 1st Freedom magazine.

You Stare While Driving

This phenomenon has been known by me for years, but it only recently came to my attention again. An 18-wheel truck driver on Facebook mentioned that a young man drove under his truck and was killed in the accident. I could deduce by his Post that he felt that he was partially responsible and that he felt sorrowful about the incident. Decent people do feel sorrowful about the loss of a young man's life, even if they weren't involved.

As I was unable to contact the driver, I made a request to my Facebook friends to help me find him. This led to a discussion about staring while driving and I posted the reason why I believed that it was not any action on his part that caused the death of the young man.

I believe that the young man stared at the underside of the truck which made him go into a trance that caused him to drive under the truck, causing the accident that killed him.

I witnessed the phenomenon first hand many years ago as a passenger in the front seat of the car that one of my sons was driving. (A new driver). While passing a trailer truck the car started veering to the right, towards the underbelly of the truck. I noticed that he was staring at the truck and not looking at the road ahead; and appeared as in a trance. I immediately took the wheel and spoke to him. This got his focus back and he indicated that he didn't know what had just happened.

Another incident that I wrote about in one of my police survival articles, is that of a young girl that drove right into the side of a police car that was parked on the side of the road. Unfortunately, the female police supervisor was standing at the driver's door talking to the officer inside the car. The young girls car peeled the officer off of the cruiser and killed her. Did the young girl intentionally kill the officer? I don't believe so. She went into a trance, causing her to veer towards the cruiser. My article also details on where an officer should position himself during a motor vehicle stop.

While discussing this phenomenon one of the bloggers stated that one of the driving instructors told him that one of the biggest causes of accidents involving young (new) drivers is staring instead of looking around. And that one of the best ways to kill yourself is to stare at the white broken lines while driving, especially while driving in fog.

Driving instructors should teach this to their young drivers. If they did, we'd have less young people killing themselves. Looking around instead of staring does not mean to be a swivel-head, but to merely be looking ahead, a bit to the sides, seeing any obstacles ahead so to be able to react in time, and not being fixated on any one object. If an object ahead appears to pose a danger, then, of course, pay closer attention to it.

Looking – is a physical activity through the eyes. It doesn't mean much.

Seeing - on the other hand, refers to the perception of what the eyes are looking at in the brain. It tells you whether the road ahead is normal or whether there is danger.

Staring - Is being fixated on only one object. Staring can lead you into a hypnotic trance that can lead you into a fatal accident. – DON'T STARE. LOOK and SEE.
