1. carry a tennis ball. You never know when a car might zing passed you almost knocking you out of your socks. Nothing like tennis ball to the rear window to capture the attention of that shmuck.
2. Carry a coffee at all times. Again car related. Toss a coffee at a car day happens every day. How many times can I count where I wished I had a large columbian dark roast to be my double double molotov cocktail.
3. A suitcase of vocabulary to throw at invaders of your public space. There is nothing quite like being placed in a moment where you have been insulted and your only weapon is language and you find yourself freezing on the spot searching for a creative insult that is bullet proof to retort. Start writing them down and memorize before bed.
The best offense is a strong defense. Go get em!

P.S. I am terrified of horses but today i walked up to a police horse and gave it attention that grew from nervous to nice.
There's nothing to fear but fear itself, jump in with both feet, life will toss you a float if you need.
