My second blog ever was about my good friend "Elsie". You can read the October 3rd blog here: http://kim1champ.blogspot.com/2006/10/elsie.html
Last night, I was thinking about "Elsie" and how she is ALWAYS prepared for any given situation. She would be fine even if she was stranded in a bad section of Long Beach.
If I was stranded somewhere, I would have NOTHING but my blackberry and hopefully a credit card. Lord knows, I wouldn't have an ATM card and I subsequently I would have absolutely no way of getting cash. I would have no food, water or spare clothes and would be at the mercy of the elements.
Elsie, would be a different story:
Elsie's car is equipped with two sets of spare clothes, two pairs of shoes, spare cash (No, I won't give out her license plate number) toiletries, two blankets, water, protein bars and a first aid kit. Great Job, Elsie!
So, to circle back, On October 3rd, I noted that Elsie had two talents. I always give credit where credit is due so I would like to add a third talent.
(1) Knowing the in's and out's of the printer in the 7th floor copy room
(2) Making Turkey Chili
(3) Stranded Preparedness
P.S. For all you losers out there that think I must have been stranded last night in Long Beach, think again!!! The Champ does not get stranded.

You have GPS, no need to be prepared to get stranded. You could just punch in to find the nearest grocery store where you could buy the supplies with your credit card.
And with the Blackberry, you can call 911 or DT AND take pictures of yourself being stranded. I can't think of anything else you'd need!
I would be ok also. I always have the food in the vehicle that the kids have only half ate. I always also have half filled bottles and cans of all kinds of drinks. Well lookie here... I have a few condoms stashed away too! I am good to go!!!
Never fear, as long as you have your BB, a starbucks you can find: http://news.com.com/2061-10800_3-6163614.html
