I like to travel light. I have just 4 keys: Car door & ignition keys, apartment door key, and mailbox key. The keyring is a die-cast NASCAR stock car, Rusty Wallace to be exact [sub][sup]even though I drive a Chevy…[/sup][/sub] ---

A CPR Face shield/airway (folded up real tight in this little nylon thingy). Almost had to use it the other day, one of my employees was having the mother of all seizures. Scared the bejeesus out of us! ---

Besides keys I have a small multi-tool, a mini mag-lite, and another mini tool with a can-opener, a file and a small knife in it. There’s also my remote for the van. And nail clippers. I am pretty much ready for anything when I go out. ---

In addition to many keys I have A thin black plastic key strip for electronic locks on campus A TARDIS Key Dot Warner’s Head. Nothing special really. 🙂 ---

Let’s see what’s on **bouv’s** key chain: key to his mother’s Caravan key to my Subaru key to my house a Price Chopper AdvantEdge card a key to a Hilman padlock that was on the door to my room until it mysteriously vanished… a pair of mini pewter running shoes a small, round silver disk with my initials on it a green LED a mini Victorinox Swiss Army Knife a key chain in the shape of a Guinness bottle. I’m confused by this, since I got it in the mail about a week and a half ago. But I remember going to the Guinness website to get a bottle opener, and it said they were all out. So I guess they sent me this as a ‘consolation’ prize. All they keys and most of the stuff are on one ring, while the knife and LED are on another ring. Finally, to top it off, everything is attached to one of those fake carabineers, that way, I can clip them right to my belt loop. 🙂 ---

Nothing but keys. It was getting to be too much of a pain to try and wedge all the various doo-dads in and out of my pocket, especially if I were wearing tight jeans. I used to have a neat Icelandic flag keychain I got in Raykjavik, though. ---

I have three keys, and a tiny pair of working handcuffs… Although, they fit over my thumbs only, being so small. But they work. ---
