It wasn’t until I was enjoying a tranquil walk this
weekend with my friend Sarah that I learned she walks with a switch blade.
Yes, a switch blade. Sarah doesn’t mess around with
matters of personal safety. Neither do I. Which is precisely why I don’t carry a switchblade. Am pretty
sure I could inflict some damage with a knife, but not on any bad guy.
Which is why another friend encouraged me to carry
rocks in my pockets. Rocks to throw at the bad guys in my neighborhood. Bad
guys who travel in packs, specifically: coyote packs.
The big problem with this solution is that my aim
is terrible. So I was excited when I came across this new gadget: the clip on
personal alarm from the Container Store. It goes for$14.99.(Click this link to go to the containerstore.com for more info.) When you pull the
alarm off your jacket, it emits an ear-piercing shriek, perfect for scaring off
a mongrel or two.
The clip on alarm would be a great gift for the
switchblade carrier, I mean urban walker, in your life too.
Nothing says I care about you and your health like
a good, old-fashioned, personal alarm. But if you want to continue to risk
personal life and limb with your switchblade, the Container Store has you
covered there too, with some very cute retro ice bags for $12.99.
Stocking stuff away, guru girls & guys!
