Over the last while, I got into the habit of NOT carrying a mini-Bic since I'm doing consulting work for a pipeline company. Sure, a Bic in my briefcase, and a Bic in my vehicle, but not in my pocket.

They're banned in process areas, of course, but I'm in an office 99% of the time.

Good Lord, have I been urbanized? This is out of character; I need to smarten up. In a SAR situation, every family member would reflexively say "yeah, dougwa__ always has a Bic in his pocket, and knows how to use it."
