The DFW guy who was instructing them said, "And remember, somewhere around 10-15% of the people out there will either be high on meth or coming down off a meth high. If someone doesn't want their deer checked and is starting to make a deal out of it, just let him go. Getting that particular deer checked isn't worth your safety or your life."<br /><br />Perhaps he was being melodramatic, but I dunno...it was chilling to me and I admit I eyeball my lab students a little closer now before we do any kind of a dangerous lab.<br /><br />But yes - "they may be a dangerous nutjob" is a big motivator in how I treat people when out in public (super polite, keep at arm's length, and make sure I know where the exit is if I have to run for it)fillyjonkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13016436113169230368noreply@blogger.com
