Also:
(1) it is possible to bonk while riding a motorcycle. (2) if you DO bonk while riding a motorcycle, you can do a lot more damage than if you bonked riding a bicycle.

1. The inner strands of paracord will catch fire when you are melting them and they come apart and drip...make sure you aren't holding it when you do this. (The burn on my hand is still not healed 3 weeks later)
2. If it looks like it is going to rain, don't rollerblade for the first time on the sidewalk along the river...It started raining, I slipped and rolled down the bank into the river. That hurt!Re-examine all that you have been told... dismiss that which insults your soul.

Unclip BEFORE you try to dismount your bike.
Listen to your gut. Especially in love. If you constantly have to rationalize why you are with that person....you just SHOULDN'T be."For God did not give us a spirit of timidity but a spirit of power, of love and of self discipline." 2 Timothy 1:7
