hmmm you carried all those items on the bus? lol no wonder you you felt odd. lol, I remember living in Wyoming many years ago and hubby had a long drive to and from work. I use to beg him to take some of those items you listed. he would not, I asked what you going to do if car breaks down. Or you get caught between two road blocks. he says easy set the car on fire. hmmmmm interesting I though. lol
