Lots of great suggestions - thank you all!

RAS - I widgy bar looks like it my fit my needs perfectly. Thank you.

UTALumnus - Hadn't thought about that use for binder clips. And they are something that is common and light.

Art_in_FL - I tried the suggestion of wearing seperate commuting outfit when I worked in NYC and found that it just didn't work for me. Maybe I'm lazy, maybe something else But I try to buy clothes that are both appropriate for work and as comfortable as possible. Thanks for the suggestions on OTC meds but I think your post got cut off at the end.

IronRaven - Yes, it's 4 hours a day I am caching sleeping materials in my office. If I can make it over the river to NJ there are at least 4 places along my commute where I can crash (and they would welcome me). In addition there are a few other places in the Philadelphia area that I could stay at. I hadn't thought about the current detector and silcock key. I will consider them - thank you. I can see a couple of uses for WD40 - improvised pepper spray, it's flamable so could help start a fire, and of course it's intended use.

Acropolis5 - A lot of people have suggested headlamps for lots of good reasons. I am going to have to consider changing my lighting choices. I would like to pack it all in a fanny pack, but I haven't found one that fits me (I'm a big guy).
