Decath isn't cramped. Well, I guess depends what you're comparing it to.
It just surprised me that he would (a) take THAT much money with him if
he were just going up for an hour or two (unless he always carried
around that kind of money), and (b) that he wouldn't have it on his
person. I mean...why have it with you if you have to pack it in a bag.
Wouldn't you just leave it home? And most guys I know have their license
and SSA card in their wallet, in their pocket. No conclusions can be
drawn from all that, I know. Seems weird to me, but maybe that's how he
always did things.


I suppose he would have a very different wallet, than me. Lots more cash in
big bills, I would imagine. g

I use lots of plastic, but only a few credit cards. Primary credit card,
backup card, health care card, a couple different licenses, a few discount
cards, pictures of kids and grandkids, insurance card, triple A card,.....
you get the picture.

I look through it occasionally, to see what I could take out, and rarely
come up with anything. It is uncomfortable, sitting on it for any period of
time. Even in a car, if I'm going to be on it for more than 45 minutes, it
comes out, on the seat or in the glove box.
