Great story.  Great idea.  This could help a lot of women!

That is why I back into my driveway. When I leave in the morning, the kids are walking up the street to the school bus stop. Just for my piece of mind I would rather back into the driveway and not worry.

That is the reason I always get a shopping cart when I go to Costso. More often than not someone is backing up and either not looking or thinking  since they are in a hurry everyone should wait for them. And I would say 1/3 of the people just leave the cart wherever they want so it is no trouble getting a cart. Lots of time you have to move a cart to park so you have a cart as soon as you start to walk toward the store.

@Kachina624, you can rest assured that whenever my pups are outside with me, they are on a leash, even in the deep, dark forest. I always want to be in relative control.

When my oldest daughter was in college, she did a lot of backpacking thru The Smokey Mountains of TN with 2 friends.   They would be out on the trails for 5-10 days at a time, depending on the length of their break.  Wildlife encounters of some sort, were a given pretty much every day.   All of them carried a police whistle, bear spray, and a pistol.

        Thanks for sharing thhe suggestion about the police whistle, @Frosted Cake!   That's very thoughtful of you.   I think I'll look into getting one.

Fantastic Idea! 

Is a police whistle a lot louder than a sport one that coaches use?

You're so welcome.   I got mine at ******'s sporting goods.  It was very inexpensive.

How funny.  It won't spell out the name of the store.   It begins with a D and ends with a KS.     Never thought I'd see the day if I wrote about  D***k & Jane books they would be censored here.

MaRina,

The one I have is really loud.   I blew it in my garage real hard and it made my ears ring.    It gave me a headache!    The key is to blow strongly.   It's light as a feather too, so it doesn't weigh you down any way you choose to wear it.

You are so welcome.    I love the picture of the kitty on your avatar.   Is that your kitty?   Such a sweet adorable face.   

I also love your quote!    I'll add that one to my collection.
