4. I am a very big walker on bike paths around FC and commute between DNV & FC at least weekly

I guess, any of us can be targets of random violence at any time, but I have to say it only underscores in my mind the idiocy of gun policies in this country. And, THAT makes me very angry.

That said, I am always with my furry baby when I am out walking and if anything happened to me, I'd surely want her taken care of. To that end, and for those who don't know, if you have an iphone, the apple health app gives you an option to fill in very basic immediate data that is ACCESSIBLE EVEN WITH THE PHONE LOCKED (shows up on the locked/emergency screen). Since you can control what shows up there (and I don't really have health issues to complete), I filled in several emergency contacts and what to do with my dog if found with me (or conversely, if not found with me).

Not to be macabre, but I do think this is a feature that many don't know about.
