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.
 

That was in the morning news, one of several similar across the nation this weekend. As usual.
