>>21474353Okay. Today I decided at age 41 that I am going to stop using school backpacks to transport my stuff from home to work or home to swimming pool or what have you. Instead I have purchased what is intended to be and marketed as a contractor's job site lunch box (bag). It's roughly rectangular and has a variety of storage compartments and plastic feet on the bottom so it's not sitting fabric straight on the ground if placed on ground. Importantly it holds its shape all the time. It is sturdy, robust, practical, has a shoulder strap. I am already very pleased with this decision.
Also I took my car in to body shop for an estimate on hail damage received this summer. It's going to be some five grand to repair what consists of like 50 little tiny dents you can't see unless you get up really close while the car is clean and the lighting is right. My insurance jews will be footing the entire bill on this.
