The UPS man left a couple of presents on my doorstep today.

Among the swag received was a sportsman's vest. You know, the kind with a zillion pockets you wear when you're fishing or hunting? It's true, I don't do either of those things, but I do like pockets. And I also think it will come in handy when I go camping, or in any other situation where I want to have the necessities on hand.

I also got a new bag. I've had a bag for almost 20 years now and after the cat peed on it I decided it was well and truly time to get myself a new bag (and aside from cat piss, 20 years of hard living was starting to take it's toll).

I found this. I know, I'm probably paying some sort of Brand-Name Premium(TM), but it's so absolutely what I was looking for in a bag it's not even funny. It's got a sleeve for my laptop and plenty of extra room. It can be carried like a briefcase, slung over the shoulder, or worn like a backpack.

So when the end of days comes and America is a shattered wreck, I shall head out into the wilderness with my vest and my bag, loaded down with the remaining fragments of the American Dream.
