Carson Miniature Folding Tripod<\/strong><\/a>
\nThis miniature tripod folds to 6″ x 2″ x \u00be” approx. Useful when I am doing an interview or taking a public speaking class and I want to set-and-forget my pocket camera in video mode.<\/p>\n

Concave (magnifying) mirror<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0($15)<\/strong>
\nIn case I get a small foreign object in my eye. This happens rarely, but when it does happen, I like to be able to deal with it on my own regardless of where I am.<\/p>\n

Little Bag o\u2019 Pills<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0($5\/100 bags)<\/strong>
\nPill bottles take too much space. I remove each bottle label with a heat gun and reapply it to a 3″ x 4″ plastic bag. I can fit ten bags of pills into a little plastic box measuring 3.5″ x 6″ x 1.25″ (from Michael\u2019s craft store). Is it legal to transfer the label? I have no idea.<\/p>\n

3M Ear Plugs<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0($28\/200pk)<\/strong>
\nWhen a friend says, \u201cHey I\u2019ve got a great idea, let\u2019s go to that bar where they have live bongo music played by teenage crack heads!\u201d Sounds good to me. So long as I have my earplugs, I\u2019ll go anywhere.<\/p>\n

About the bag<\/strong>
\nI\u2019ve had this bag for 20 years. It is a generic computer bag, 12″ x 15″ (smallest I could find), but able to hold numerous little boxes of useful stuff in addition to a notebook computer, which is necessary as I prefer not to use handheld devices.<\/p>\n
