Be prepared

Pretty interesting article in today's NY Times about a family stranded for two weeks in the mountains.

And Vicki wonders why I keep an emergency blanket in our glove compartment.

Of course, I can't imagine what it would take for this to happen to us given the fact that we live miles and miles from anything like an untraveled road, but you just never know.

We do a fair amount of hiking, and we may even brave an attempt at camping with young Samson this summer.

In any event, one of the models goals I've set for our little family is to never be featured on this show...
