I stole more flowers from our complex. I’m living a life of crime.

These flowers lasted for a week!

I work in San Francisco and getting around the city takes some knowhow. I present:

I live in Oakland. There, I said it.
When I tell people, their first question is usually about safety. And that’s understandable.
After all, it has the third highest crime rate in the country.
I must admit that I still don’t feel completely safe here. Even though we live in a secured complex (access code is needed to enter the complex, opener needed for the garage), I check our front door throughout the day to make sure it’s locked.
I don’t know that I’ll ever feel 100% safe in our ‘hood. But I don’t think one should ever feel 100% safe (I’m trying to achieve “unagi“).
So how does this unaccompanied female stay safe?
V and I went to a shooting range! We’re totally not gun-totin’ people but we decided to go on a whim. I had never seen a gun up close before and it was surprising how toy-like the real guns looked. Or maybe toy guns just look like real guns.
Since I had never shot a gun before, the lady at the counter recommended the .22 Beretta.
