Ha ha, I am realizing more and more, I am using my messenger bag psk like Grandma used to use her purse. She could pull anything out of that bag for any problem in any occasion.

My question is, when did purses quit being the practical items everyone carried and become only feminine fashion statements? I suppose such an accouterment was not proper form for gentlemen's attire in classic Victorian dress. All I can say is I never liked having to stuff my pockets with all the junk I needed in a day, but that shoulder bag sure has made my life a lot easier.
