Sonnet: Your Emergency Preparedness Kit
What you'll need in your kit, of course, depends on the kind
of emergency you plan to have and where you plan to have it.
If you're in France and plan to have an emergency on the road
be sure to take along a corkscrew, five bottles of wine, three or
four baguettes, some fine, pungent cheese, and a red and white
checkered tablecloth. In much of the rest of Europe and in Cali-
fornia, mostly the same. In Latin America, much the same. But
in Canada be sure to have a charged cell phone, and in the US
a fistful of credit cards, and your Triple-A card. A six-pack of beer
would be a comfort. In many parts of the world you can rely on
friendly locals to pull you out of a ditch, give you a push, or carry
you, your wife and kids off to a nearby clinic or hospital. In case
of serious injuries, it's a good idea to have several units of blood
for each of you. And in Texas, of course, you're on your own.
