My most memorable commutes have been non-emergency events where I've been stuck somewhere for hours. You could pack
backup reading material and a
small headlamp to help alleviate the boredom of such events.
Good advice. I always have reading material with me, and as long as my iPhone holds out I can read, play games, or even post to this forum. I've ordered a Prism to convert my Quark into a headlamp. The headband willl work with my AAA lights too. I'm thinking that a spare 123 cell is in order.
