People have sent me emails on being safe today. The world of safety differs from “how to fall from great heights” to Internet security – but it seemed as if someone was telling me to do a Safety Byte. Here are some of the resources – I hope that there are helpful but that you will never need them.

(Oh a couple people have asked about my kids’ podcast – they actually have been updating it recently: http://www.10questionsabout.com/.)

Survive a Long Fall http://www.wikihow.com/Survive-a-Long-Fall

Keep Schools Safe http://www.keepschoolssafe.org/
