[MR] Pennsic Escort Service (Was, woman attacked at Pennsic)

[scry42 at cox.net]

Now we have truly gone over the top.  I am running away from this 

I will not live in that much fear...  The world is just not that scary a place.  It is a good place, and filled with wonderful people.  It is wonderful to walk in solitude, it is wonderful to walk with friends, I am mostly unafraid.  And I will choose to make it a habit to be happy, and deal with what comes to me, attempting to learn the lessons that come with it.
