conv: I had just packed a roadside emergency kit in my car when a snowstorm hit and stranded me on a back road. I am so glad that I decided to pack a kit for my car in case of bad winter weather. I bet you are_comma_ that's some pretty good foresight right there! Did you have to use it this past winter? I did_comma_ two days after packing it we had a blizzard and my tire went flat out in the middle of it. I would have been very unhappy had I not packed it. How satisfying must it be to have something like that ready to go in case of emergency_comma_ and then to actually get to use it? I'm pretty jealous_comma_ and proud in a vicarious kind of way. I was_comma_ and happy to have water_comma_ granola bars_comma_ and an extra cell phone charger!
