How are you preparing for life's little messes?
I hope to gain from wisdom here. I'll start...
Home defense: secluded neighborhood, armed security response, alarm, defense gun
Court defense: working on getting to know specialty defense attorneys for issues arising from home defense
quake defense: house made of metal and plaster instead of wood and plaster
fire defense: green zone around house
disaster defense: batteries, water, dry foods, oil lamps
commute defense: drive in condition orange, or I prefer to call it the spot-the-reckless-driver-coming-up-behind-me game. Or awareness-driving. Spots the speed trap easily enough. :)
theft defense: blind spot. I have none.
personal defense: cell phone with 911 hot button while I duke it out with would-be mugger. -- yes, singular, because CAL does not allow me to defend myself with more effective means. Brown belt in tae kwon do (I laugh at myself)
sickness defense: herbal foods as subscribed from chinese herbalist. (note, as opposed to chinese herbal medicine, these foods are good for daily consumption), organic foods
wallet defense: cook at home. few movies, fewer musicals
rain defense: none. this is southern california, enough said.
breakdown defense: emergency supply in trunk.
OK, I hope we get a collection of ideas from everyone. Share your thoughts.
