Comment Nothing special (Score 1) 278

My keychain (Nite Ize S-biner) gets either one set of car keys or the other, most of the time. Rarely both. Also on it are the house keys, mailbox key, and two loyalty tags, for the supermarket and the auto parts store.

Most always with me:

Front pocket wallet with the minimum cards.
Leatherman Micra that needs to be sharpened.
Motorola Elite Flip headset.

My phone, the HTC One M8, is always with me.

Plantronics Backbeat Fit headset (fabulous).

And a pedometer while I choose a fitness gizmo.

Not much.

On my work bag are the office keys and hard token, and snapped on is the keychain and other car keys, just in case.

No watch. Never again.

If you're not brewing your coffee specifically to strip paint and refinish your concrete, you're wasting your time and coffee.

If your community isn't collecting your grounds to pave the local highways, you're not doing it right.

If you bother to stir your coffee and get the spoon back, you're not trying hard enough.

If adding sugar doesn't cause a violent reaction requiring evacuation, you're not doing it right.

Coffee is intended to be a test of endurance and strength. C'mon, man...

Actually, where I live (Phoenix area) it is not uncommon to find only one fixed reference station (cell tower) connected to my phone.

T-Mobile begs me to turn on WiFi scanning to permit improved accuracy. WiFi is a nuisance on my phone, as I'm around at least 3 networks daily that all ask me to log on, and if I don't I miss email, texts, and updates. A nasty little feature of how Android handles secured WiFi.

And the world is, outside of Africa, developed?

It's a big world. Lots of people. If you have any money in your possession, you're rich compared to the rest of the world. If you will sleep indoors tonight, you are very well off indeed. If you already have food for your first meal tomorrow, you are even better off.

And remember, lots of those miserable have-nots think they are ok.
