ok, that point having been made, let me qualify myself (puffs up chest, raises chin slightly)...

Outwardly I appeared calm, concerned, apologetic. I conciously tried to present a non-threatening posture. I looked like fighting was the furthest thing from my mind.

The minute he was out of his car though, I got out of mine (mobility) and started assessing him (size, muscularity, demeanor, whether armed or not, etc.)
Inside, I'm tensed, wound up tighter than a steel coil spring. My rectum is clenched. The adrenaline is pumping. I'm assessing what my best first shot could be, what level of force will I have to use to win. I am fully prepared to get physical if it becomes necessary. Scared? hah!










































I was terrified!
