Since I've had a few friends and relatives die in fires, I am very aware of my situation in public, enclosed spaces. Always try to be near a fire exit, closer as the crowd gets larger.

However, we were almost trampled at a New Years celebration a few years ago.

And since the nightclub shooting, I tend to avoid crowds where there is no security. Passed on watching a parade yesterday.

Went to a bar with live music last week, joked with security when he patted us down. He related they found multiple knives, and a gun that evening.
