[KYHAM] Emergency Kit..

Thu, 23 Oct 2003 21:41:10 -0400

include a blanket, some extra clothes, and some non-perishible
goodies in case you get stuck somewhere. Now that Christmas sales
are firing up, a lot of neat stuff can be found to make everyone
more disaster-ready in the car and at home on the cheap!
