I've put together a Get Home Bag, with what I think would let me get home from the areas I normally go, even if I had to walk. It's been riding in my trunk since Saturday.

And I've discovered an interesting thing; Confidence.

Not "Awright, I'm ready for anything!" type confidence.

More like "Okay, even if something bad enough to close the roads happens, I won't be completely helpless."

It's not something I worried about in the past, or even gave much thought to, but knowing that I have a plan, and the means to attempt to execute it, is a really good feeling.


(Just wanted to share that with some people who'd understand. )
