BASEBALL BATS & FIRE EXTINGUISHERS NEXT TO YOUR BED?
BASEBALL BAT: My husband, John, is sooo clever. In 1983 we had a young man break into our house and come into our bedroom at 3 am. The police who came (and caught the guy, long story) advised John to keep a baseball bat next to the bed.
Much better than a gun, of course. If your burglar HAS a gun, he has decided long ago whether or not to use it, while you will be debating. If not, the baseball bat gives you defense and offense!
Next to the baseball bat is a fire extinguisher.
FIRE EXTINGUISHER: In 2013 our son, Jim, had a fire in his kitchen and valiantly made his way through smoke and flames to get the fire extinguisher and put out the fire. Saving the apartment and perhaps the entire building. He had some burns on his hands and his face, however. .
We immediately bought 3 brand new fire extinguishers, one in the kitchen, one in John's shop, and one right next to the bed.
If we are awakened by our fire alarms...he's ready to go.
Now we need designer fire extinguishers and baseball bats. Perhaps a new line for business for someone?

Hi Elaine,
You are prepared! I think I should add a fire extinguisher to my water and lip balm :)
Cheers,
