always, always, always keep your tank full or half full. Because if there's a major emergency and you need to flee, you'd be SOL you don't have enough gas to make it to safety.

So do I and I get compliments from mechanics and car wash guys.

That's a good idea about the gas tank, but honestly I don't know where I'd flee TO?

I have images of gridlocked roads as people try to flee but nobody knows where to go.

I keep a few paper towels in my gym bag in case they are out of paper towels. I use them to wipe my sweaty face and neck, and I don't like the wet wipes they now have around. (I can only find DRY paper towels in the locker room now)

I keep extra change in my car for a pay phone even though they are practically non-existent, in case I don't get a signal for some reason. And enough cash to buy at least 2 gallons of gas, for some kind of emergency and plastic won't work. I still keep an old school Thomas Guide around too, since technology doesn't always work the way it should. Or it could be down.

Fire extinguisher in the kitchen, hopefully I'll never need to use it.

1/2 tsp. ground ginger in 8 oz. hot (not boiling!) water will soothe nausea or upset stomach.
