My wife and I are on the go a lot,
We stop and eat in many different places.
Heres my point, or story.
I WILL NOT sit in an eatery with my back to the entrance door. I CAN NOT eat if my back is to the door. I dont know if I am paranoid, but I MUST be where I can see everything coming in , and I am VERY observant, and aware of everything going on around the place. Its not hard to do, and does not interfere with my eating or conversation. My wife says I have been that way since I got home from the Army in 1968.
I started looking around at people everywhere we stopped , and made a point of it to discuss the people in these places, with my wife,we sort of made a game of it, as none of them seemed to be aware of their surroundings, and sort of oblivious to everything. Most all the males were sitting with their back to the entrance door. Whether alone or with someone.
I cant help thinking about recent shootings, and wonder, if people were more aware of their surroundings , would they have a better chance of not being harmed.
Am I paranoid? do any of you do this ? Of course I am always armed also.
Just curious guys. What ya think?
