I had a little "bugout kit" right after 9/11. I worked in Cambridge, just outside of Boston and that day was pretty bizarre around the office. Located across from a Fed Transportation building, we also were an active pharm. manufacturing facility... plus I was on the IT Disaster Recovery Team. I was one of the last allowed to leave that day (still out by 3 PM), but it was spooky. Noone on the subways, fewer still, by then, on the commuter rail.

I packed a kit in my courier bag and it went everywhere with me for about a month. I still have that dern can of SPAM...

spazz - in New England where there is no rock-n-roll, not even in the ground
