Hi there.

I do it because, having lived through a couple of disasters, I found that I would be a lot more comfortable being just a little more prepared. I can't forsee every emergency, but living comfortably through them can be an acheivable goal through wise preparation.

I was there for Hurricane Andrew. I left Los Angeles mere months before the 92 Riots, where I was everyone's token "gun-toting maniac"...amazing how many people managed to get my phone number in Florida and say, "Hey, Dave, you got an extra gun?"

"Sure do. Lots of 'em. Right here. Don't you wish you'd treated me better while I was there?"

"But..."

"Have a nice life." *click*

All my life, I've been told "You can't do that."

All my life, I've done it. And I keep doing it. Much to the surprise and chagrin of those around me who disbelieve.

For me surviving is the ultimate thwart on "You Can't Do That."

Oh yeah? Watch me.
