Thanks.

I generally have tools in my car. I was hauling stuff a few days before and didn't put them back in. At least the last time I didn't have tools, I remembered before I got too far down the road.

I went out into the state land yesterday in my 2000 Subaru Outback to sight in a few firearms and there was somebody parked near where I usually shoot so I kept on driving. After about another mile I turned, but then decided not to go down that road so started backing up. When I backed up, I...
