MODERN RUNNING FOR YOUR LIFE

Running for your life used to be pretty simple.

There’s something that might kill you if it gets close enough.

And it’s a surprise, a big surprise.

No one needs to tell you what to do:

Grab your shit and go as fast as you can.

Toss things aside to go faster, but it might be too late, so just run for your life and come back when the coast is clear.

Those were the old days of wolves, and bears, and mountain lions out here in the west.

With modern running we’re much more civilized these days, but still running for our lives.

Make that walking for our lives. Some may run, and I salute you, but the vast majority are doing enough to create a health hazard of obesity, heart attacks, and strokes, so walking is the standard.

 

Modern Running

With a bear breaking in the front door of your pioneer cabin, run out the back.

Today, if poor health in breaking down the front door, meet it with dedication and fortitude.

And pepper spray.

Maybe a fighting baton.

Take a walk on the wild side of your sub-division properly equipped.

Give a warming, give a burst of spray, and cock your arm to swing if the pepper spray is not getting it done.

It may be marketed as therapeutic but I’m not fooled.

These are not fighting stars, but get hit by one then tell me the difference.

 

 

Do you think anyone carrying this would have a problem with modern running?

Try Me? No, thanks. It looks lethal.

I’d cross the street from someone with this in their hand.

 

 

Modern Running Outfit

Back in the day you might run off from a bear attack in you wife-beater and boxers.

Style hasn’t changed that much.

This is the modern running shirt. Note the similar fashion to the pioneers.

This may be more breathable, and tear resistant, but the bear won’t care.

 

PS:

For modern running you’re still on your own, unless you have a group, a party, then you have the power of numbers.

 

PSS:

It’s a lot like voting in a modern election, like the one coming up. Vote for the best person, not the one who says they’re the best, not the one who calls someone else the best and they’ll be just like them.

Look at the threats at the front door, how strong the hinges and locks are, and how determined the big bad wolf is to get in, to win.

Join in great numbers with people who recognize the difference between a flaming a-hole catching things on fire and calling it ‘collateral damage’, and a calm administrator tamping out the fire and picking up the pieces.

If you want nice things, you need the right people helping, not a self-serving hog with a bottomless appetite for you and what you leave after you run off in panic.

Instead, use the available tools, the pepper spray, the baton, the spikes balls, the Try Me.

Put on that white shirt and vote like it means something.

Vote proud, vote free, and vote for America with liberty and justice for all.

If you didn’t know, now you know.

That will be all.
