A few weeks ago I was the one that my work called upon to get people home from work when the blizzard struck Colorado and Wyoming. The comment was (as I was walking away after the fact) "well who else were we going to ask... he was the only one that was prepared for this... " I received a few thanks and a few sideways looks and was even called a modern day Grizzley Adams. When all was said and done, the sheepdog made sure that all the sheep got home to their families.

As far as being in a large crowd of people, forget it. It makes me crazy! I have issues with going to Walmart on a Saturday. Paranoid? Maybe... Crazy? Not likely... Enjoying a life free of the stampeding masses? Definitely!
