Caution...
How cautious and safety minded are you? Do you always wear a seat belt in your car and/or have an emergency roadside kit in the trunk?
Do you have every imaginable emergency number programed into your phone? Do you have smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in every room, fire extinguisher in the kitchen,
First aid kit that you keep freshly stocked?
Are you usually prepared for about anything that could happen, or one of those that throw caution to the wind?

Re: Caution...
i do wear my seatbelt. i have a first aid kit.. kinda. it has band aids, gauze, alochol, and duck tape in it. the smoke detectors got thrown out the window. we do have a fire extinguisher in the carport though. (after the 2nd time rhyun set my car on fire last year "working" on it.. it was time to get one lol ) as for emergency numbers, if something is wrong and 911 can't help me then what good are they??

Re: Caution...
I get pulled over on a regular basis up here. I drive like a student driver, always coming to a full stop at stop signs, going at the speed limits, etc... They say I drive like I'm up to something. Apparently, nobody obeys the laws anymore. In this state, seatbelts are the law. Anyone caught not wearing one can get up to a 150$ fine. As far as safety equiptment goes, I have a black bag in the trunk. It has everything I'm required to have when I'm in the boat. So it's either in the trunk or in the boat. Things like; First aid kit, flares, fire extinquishers, and even lifejackets (in case I make a water landing in the truck)... I also keep; beef jerky, crackers, and two liters of spring water, in case I'm stranded or adrift...

Re: Caution...
I have a fire extinguisher & smoke alarms, but since nobody has hot sex here anymore , don't know why, lol In my line of workI always have a first aid kit, (plenty of nails to step on) although if I crash my plane, band-aids probably won't help much.

Re: Caution...
Hey RC...my nieghbors and I are pretty tight! We do help watch out for each other, and the neghborhood watch sign is just yards away from my front porch...
I do have one worry though, a huge old tree that's been struck by lightning a time or two, it's still living, and beautiful, but it's right outside our bedroom....and damaged enough that I worry about it during tornado and storm season...you got any idea what it would cost to hire someone to take down that grand ole beast???
Way more than we can afford!

Re: Caution...
Boy do you have that right Moon, RC can't seem to get a grip on how far you have to go to get anywhere out here. I mean he has to drive 7 miles to get a beer.
