The short answer is no.<br><br> It did show some of my more naive friends that I was not as far out there as they assumed. You know the type. They have a pocket full of credit cards, a cell phone in their ear, a subway sandwich in their hand, a soccer ball sticker on the back of their car, 50+ extra pounds on their belts and absolutely no concept of the term "situational awareness".<br><br>Some of these friends are starting to ask me questions along preparedness lines. I have found out that they are not really prepared to accept the answers though. They are still stuck in the " it always happens to someone else" line of thinking. <br><br>Since some of them never actually do anything other than watch television; they may be right.
