Note to me. You have pockets, use them...

Since it's all about me, as I'm watching the plane crash news on TV, I see all of the survivors there on the field watching the plane go up in smoke, I'm conjuring on what if that was me?

If that was me there on the field, I would likely not have any money or credit cards on me or a phone or computer.  I would likely have all that stuff in my suitcase which would be in the overhead compartment.

Next time I get on a plane, that will change.  Phone and cash and a credit card will be in my pockets for sure.

There were years when I was on a plane to somewhere nearly every week - at least every other week.  Now, it's two times a year.  I figure my chances of being in a plane wreck are way greater now.  Murphy's law.

So I'm amazed that no one said anything about this on FB all day. Usually crazy stuff like this is talked about. But nothing. (Cynical me says not enough people died for anyone to say much. Hrmph. I read about it on CNN after you mentioned it.)

But I know what you mean about being prepared. I've come to the point where I have my phone in my seat pocket/pant pocket during the flights and my wallet sitting at my feet, easily accessible. I don't know why, but I do.

Obviously your Facebook friends are not my Facebook friends. I saw a lot of posts about it yesterday.

Ever since I broke my arm, and also slipped a different time I have learned to keep my cellphone in my pocket if I am walking around the backyard or out on the sidewalk.

I spent about an hour and a half trying to get up off the floor and off my butt using only one arm. I finally scooted over to a wooden chair and pulled myself up holding on to the legs. It wasn't pretty. A cellphone would have been helpful!
