I realized today that I'm much more transparent than I thought I was. I had a whole day of program defenses. Most were good. A few were nasty. The nasty ones, though, came in rapid succession. I think after a while, I was starting to growl and foam at the mouth. When people would see me, they'd grasp whatever they were holding close to their chests, as if to protect their internal organs and say, "Ngii!"
Fortunately, the day ended well. No one got hurt (physically) and I've retracted my claws. Can't wait to get to Boracay...
