Not enough people mind their heads these days. Too many are going off half-cocked and angry, but not Sid. She was a woman who knew how to keep her cool. The fact that she had a caution sign up on an archway in front of her home, was merely her way of reminding herself...and others, too. Though, not too many people in the midst of losing their heads are all that rational enough to mind them again. It was always her fervent hope that the rest of the folks figured it out. It sure would be nice, wouldn't it?
