Did it cross over with or without holes in it?

That works sometimes but you’ve also been lucky. A dog really intent on biting you will keep charging.

#19 Sounds like a women I knew once

“have a large repertoire of noises that they can produce and may scowl, snarl, and spit, during the breeding season they may also be heard screaming from time to time.”

I heard that one test for Spetsnaz was being suddenly thrown into a room with a rabid dog.

Or I run straight at the dog, taking the initiative.

That's what I have done, on two occasions when a dog seemed to be about to attack me.

Full acceleration, looking him right in the eye, yelling at him.

I'm glad it worked.

If you’re dealing with a trained dog or a few breeds that can behave this way instinctually when threatened, you’d better protect your throat because they’re going to go for it.

Zen is not easy. It takes effort to attain nothingness.

Which is why Zen has value, but not much. Meditation is by definition effortless.

I’ve used it on some of my German Shepherds to show them who was boss.

Yes, asthma would be a problem.

Overall food allergies are uncommon with 3.4% - 4% being the rate in the U.S., allergies to spices in general being considered rare and to peppers even more rare. Allergies to capsicum appear to be so rare that no incidence rate has even been guessed at.

Not much of a comparison to the certainty of the toxicity of the ingredients in wasp spray.

Aye. Off topic, but you just reminded me of a youthful experiment with danger And stupidity.

When I was about 9, I purposefully shot a 5 gal propane tank with a Remington .223 with roughly 100 yards between us. Beforehand, I made a little fire behind it to ignite whatever ejected.

I wouldn’t dare do it again, but I will always remember it. I thought it would explode, but instead it spun so fast, it began to glow. It was terrifying to behold and 100 yards and a tree seemed totally inadequate as protection.

Youth.

Bobcats in Massachusetts have been spotted as far east as I-495. They are expanding their range since the food supply is plentiful.

Massachusetts officially says there are no mountain lions anywhere in New England but I know a few deer hunters who would argue that point.

Whenever I’m attacked by a dog, I try to give him a sporting chance.
