Prep

I have not lived a McGyver life.
But I learned from a former friend who did:
She always had a jumble of things on hand.
Once she fixed my toilet tank with a paper clip.
Another time, she was over and I was wishing we had some Amaretto.
"I have some in my car!"

I try to think like her when I travel--even to a two-hour rally, this morning:
What might I carry to address any need that arises?

MOST IMPORTANT:
Curiosity, and an open heart
Extra rations of humor
An intention to Enjoy Life!
A willingness to be brave on behalf of others

Me being on foot (with a tender knee), my supply bag has to be light.
Two girlettes are the onboard limit.
Below: the most bold, Pearl Duquette, who lost her arm in a shark attack, and the most rational, FrankColumbo, who is not likely to lose her head. 

Snacks to share
bink's zines
Gauze pads and medical gloves? . . . people do trip ["over chickens"]
And people get headaches, hence ipuprofen.
Pen & paper
Tweezerman brand tweezers! Splinters happen.
rubber bands
Matches? I cannot imagine a use for them... But Penny Cooper has a Girl Scout attitude: "They are light. Take them."
(And I'm a little superstitious: if it occurs to you to take something and you DON'T ... then you will need it.)

A few more things to be added--
wet flannels in a plastic bag
face masks
a rain poncho (it's supposed to be sunny, but to sit on, and it'd make a good shield if there's tear gas, godforbid!)
keys, cash, phone
PHONE NUMBERS,written on paper

Hopefully all I'll need is the snacks, and the dolls.
And the phone, to take photos!
To come...

Have a lovely day, everyone!
