Really? So, at your age, you'd be perfectly happy to walk, alone at
night, through unfamiliar neighborhoods in a foreign country?

That's a typical response from you, Andrew. You found _one_ scary story,
out of how many peaceful, unremarkable nighttime walks every day around
the world? You can't really be pretending that incident is
representative of the actual level of risk! How many attacks per million
nighttime walks do you think actually occur?

That's aside from the fact that the timid tricyclist specified "foreign
country." But Phoenix is in _this_ country. I'm pretty sure the foreign
countries that I've visited have all been shown to be safer, on average,
than America.

Well, if you're only going to go to "safe" countries. Much of the
Carribean where I was walking is today, not particularly safe.

Here I am walking in Cozumel. I think it was a couple miles from the
hotel to the Plaza. We took a taxi home because I could hardly walk
with the bends in my ankle. In the picture, it had only begun to hurt.
Later, in the restaurant, it got really painful.
