[at-l] What I forgot (so far)

[icw39@ncfreedom.net (Clark Wright)]

p.s.  I second the kewl toothbrush comment - I took a 79 cent plastic
"Snoopy" kids brush that I got at Eckerds, or some drug store chain like
that - it is one of my kewler AT momentos from last summer! :)

Heh.  I work for Kodak, and have been asked to bring back lots
of photos, both from curious coworkers and for our QA department
(I'm on the team implementing Perfect Touch processing for one-hour
photo labs).

I'm not planning any drops, since this is a short hike and I'm
unsure of my pace.  And I get my film (and processing) free as
a job perk, so I'd rather not pay for it elsewhere....

I don't -- it's the lid for the cookpot.  The combination weighs
about the same as competing cookpots with lids, and I need a lid
to trap in the heat.  And I do have a couple of two-pot recipes,
though I won't be using any on this trip.

Yes, I do, to let my shuttle (Miss Janet) know where and when to
fetch me.
