I am also recommending that everyone carry (daily) a USB JUMP DRIVE containing all of their eMail addresses, Emerg. Contacts (Dr., Broker, Atty., CPA House alarm service, credit card phone numbers etc.) other (scanned) important documents. A JUMP DRIVE is just too cheap not to have one (at all times). Thanks for YOUR list above
