Always be Prepared...I guess

Because of the dead state of my car, I needed booster cables to make it home today for thanksgiving. I could've just found someone here with them, but my dad decided that I needed some anyway so he sent some in the mail. Apparently he decided that I needed a lot more than just booster cables, because when I opened the package there was a briefcase sized safety kit with anything you could possibly imagine needing. It was pretty much its own hardware store. Besides the booster cables, its contents included:

- slim line air compressor

- tire gauge

- duct tape roll (I guess they say you can use duct tape for everything...)

- 8-in-1 multi tool

- metal collapsible shovel

- window mount reflective red triangle

- super-bright LED flashlight (emphasis on the super?)

- 3 AAA batteries (to make the super bright flashlight be super bright)

- disposable camera with flash (to cherish the moments)

- accident report form

- 1.5m measuring tape

- chalk and ball pen

- emergency poncho 

- emergency blanket

- pair of PVC knitted gloves (PVC?)

- pad of paper and pencil

- 10 cable ties

- tie down strap (for the hostages!)

- and a first aid kit complete with an instruction card, gauze roll, adhesive tape, alcohol cleaning pads, adherent sterile pads, 14 adhesive strips, and 20 cotton swabs.

So either it was on sale and was cheaper to buy than the booster cables alone (which my dad claims was the case), or he really has no faith in my car and wants me to be prepared. 

I thought it was quite humourous. And within 4 hours I will be heading home for a nice, long, thanksgiving weekend! So pumped.
