I realize it can happen anywhere at anytime.
Heck, two years ago while on a trip I stopped by the McDonalds at I-81 & US20 to go to the bathroom and fill up the water bottles and ran into a guy that wanted to 'suck me'. I ended up having getting 'held hostage' for 45 minutes until I was able to get him out of the parking lot so I could leave. I was back at that same McDonalds last week and only got 'held hostage' when a car caught on fire on the off ramp right across the street from the McDonalds...totally destroyed the car. Would I go back to that same McDonalds again, if I'm in the area...sure I would. I don't let small things like that bother me.
Anything can happen anywhere at anytime. You never know when your last breath is going to be taken, and there isn't anything you can do to make sure it isn't the next one. When it's your time to go, it's your time to go and you won't stop it no matter what you do.
