Anyone know what the grey man is? Or who he is? If you don’t, he’s succeeded. A grey man is the term for someone who blends in and doesn’t attract attention. In other words, a nobody who you wouldn’t give a second look. These days it’s advantageous, in certain times, to blend in and not stand out in a crowd. I’m sure you’ve all seen Matt Damon in the Jason Bourne movies. He’s an excellent example of a grey man. I mention this as more and more these days, unsuspecting people are becoming victims of random robbery and other crimes, just for being out in public. Truth is, there’s nothing random about it. What they’re wearing or driving, or even how their acting is like a worm on a hook to criminals looking to commit a crime of opportunity. I read an article about a guy who was surprised his truck was broken into and his gun was stolen, when he had a sticker on his back window that said, “Protected by Smith and Wesson”, hmm. Point is, there are times when you don’t want to stand out, traveling in a foreign country is one example. I used to not let Lori wear her jewelry or Rolex when flying alone to California years ago. Why attract attention as a single female traveling alone. Just a heads up as more and more these days, criminals are looking for targets, and they’ll always, and I mean always, chose the easiest one!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
James is playing in Tampa this weekend, last night and tomorrow night. He texted this picture of Burm’s Steak House which has an entire dessert room or restaurant within the restaurant. They’re pretty famous and also have over 1 million bottles of wine. They of course gave him a private tour of the whole place, and he shared the pics. He gets special treatment wherever he goes, we can’t figure out why, ha. I got an email yesterday that all four of us, James, Marty, Davy and I, got our archery elk tags for our hunt in September. We’re packing in on horseback for a week hunting elk with bows. Can’t wait. We need to dust off our bows now as we’ll be leaving three months from next Tuesday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ty’s off today. Jag and Ava are looking for apartments. Hope they end up down by DU rather than near downtown. It’s a much nicer, quieter and a safer neighborhood. Can’t wait until they come up next weekend. His car is in the shop and should be done next Thursday. We’re waiting on some wires as something, a mouse or gopher or something, chewed the wires going to the solenoid. That’s costing us $751 bucks! Always something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hard to understand all the anti-sematic attacks these days. It’s like Nazi Germany all over again. Up until 5 or 6 years ago, you never heard of people attacking Jews. What’s even harder to understand is all the people supporting terrorists like Hamas. It’s directly due to what our colleges are teaching, no other explanation for it. Just another example of people not thinking for themselves or just following the crowd. My generations’ motto was Question Authority. Different times. If I was Jewish, I’d practice the grey man principles I mention above. I’d do everything not to stand out in a crowd and attract attention. Point is, try to avoid being a victim. There is an opposite tactic, but not everyone can pull it off. That’s to look like someone that is the last person a criminal, or for that matter, anyone would want to mess with. Usually this is the route I go. At 6’4″, 200 pounds, it’s easier to look menacing and like someone you don’t want to fuck with. In public, I always have my head on a swivel and walk and look like I have an attitude. Often people are wary or scared of me, which I’m 100% ok with. If you’re going to stand out in a crowd, you’d better look and act like an alpha and not the vulnerable one in the pack. Think of a pack of wolves. You can spot the alpha male and easily spot the submissive weak members of the pack. Looking like someone you don’t want to cross or even make eye contact with, works if you can carry that attitude. If you’re in public and come across a member of a biker gang like the Hells Angels, you know what I mean. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That’s it for today. Re-reading this post is like reading a public service announcement, ha. Just my two cents. Someday when the kids go back and read this, it will hopefully give them a sense of what was going on in the World at this point in time. It’s really unbelievable what we as a society, have morphed into. Mom and Dad would be shocked. Anyhow, be well, stay safe and God Bless, and don’t act like a victim, or you will end up being one! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
