I update to my flash drive all the time and wear it around my neck often, when I am traveling. This is in addition to a twice monthly CD backup and, at this point, a paper copy or two.<BR/><BR/>I'll have to keep a ziploc to put the flash drive in, in case of a flood.SAVanVleckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16526439123724746902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648236583334886227.post-70109450392299569872008-09-18T10:38:00.000-07:002008-09-18T10:38:00.000-07:00Hey!

Sounds like a lot of people got more water from him than they had hoped for, alas!<BR/><BR/>I can see how the underwater pens and pads could be useful, Kathy. And will happily add them to my preparedness list! <BR/><BR/>Although, if we have writers out there still trying to get down those last few brilliant lines of text before evacuating, with water streaming into their homes --- I'd suggest they hop on top of those writing supplies on their inner tubes and head on out, ASAP! : )<BR/><BR/>Linda - great advice on the door and inner tube problem! Well noted! And I agree - who needs two kinds of paper?!<BR/><BR/>Christy, happy shopping!Janellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11864928264352251649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648236583334886227.post-88633110684401648832008-09-15T09:52:00.000-07:002008-09-15T09:52:00.000-07:00Too funny Janelle!!I have now revised my emergency...Too funny Janelle!!<BR/>I have now revised my emergency preparedness list. I had to make room for these essentials so I had to take out most of the toilet paper and the blanket, I figured the paper would suffice if need be. I also practiced securing my garbage bag to my inner-tube. Word of advice, secure the bag AFTER you get outside as it won't fit through the door, without dumping.Linda Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03295582504973425341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648236583334886227.post-48082543544478417372008-09-15T08:49:00.000-07:002008-09-15T08:49:00.000-07:00Very funny Janelle :OIke missed us entirely where ...Very funny Janelle :O<BR/><BR/>Ike missed us entirely where we are in Texas.

They had pens and pads that you could write on under water. Looked pretty cool. So, even as the rains come in and you just thought of that one last line that will sell the book, you can still get it down on something!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16610248061191538332noreply@blogger.com
