The HOT Button

This is the third installment about Pepper Spray (also called OC spray, remember?). See part 1 HERE and part 2 HERE. Although there are several types of pepper spray canisters, there are only a few types of triggers and safety types. The two most common safety/trigger configurations are the “turn and press” and the “flip and press.” Those aren’t the technical names, but they are pretty good descriptors, so I’ll stick with them.

The challenge of the new, with the strength of a child.

Have you ever done something totally new in your life? I have, many times! I always think it will look so amazing, so smooth, so in control. But it DOESN’T, not to start with anyway! Anytime I step out of my comfort zone, I experience the awkwardness and the clumsiness of new behaviors. I remember when I chose to be a car salesman at one time in my life. Now mind you, in the beginning I couldn’t tell a Civic…
