My Kenny Rogers song quote might have been even more appropriate if I had gone
on to include the next line of that verse: "Know when to walk away and know
when to run."
Let's be careful out there -- and particularly around folks who have or may be
going to get a shotgun. That's definitely time to run and not walk. Could
even be an excuse for abandoning the gear. Ain't that why we nsurit?
