Re: Sugar Land mayor robbed at gunpoint in his driveway

This happened uncomfortably close to where I was at the time, though I only knew of it after reading the Comical's article.

I think the really key item here is the situational awareness that Familyman1993 mentioned, and that requires open eyes, an active mind and a moving head. Couple this with developing a smooth routine for transitioning between being on your feet and getting your vehicle moving, so you minimize the duration of time that you are seated in a stationary vehicle with your feet in front of your hips (bad!). Walking around your own vehicle once or twice, with a flashlight in hand when dark, and hairy-eyeballing surrounding vehicles in a parking lot has to become mandatory practice. Unfortunately I frequently have a head full of thoughts during the walking-driving transition, when I should be watching for malandros such as the guy who mugged Sugar Land's mayor, so I really have to focus upon executing this transition properly going forward.
