I’ve changed bags which is a big deal for an organizer. The zippers were going on my old belt pack which was a pretty homely thing anyway. I found one of these Ameribags at the thrift store so I thought I’d try it out. I don’t see what’s ergonomic about it as a shoulder bag—it’s still dragging your shoulder down, but worn across the body it works like a messenger bag. A belt pack is still the most ergonomic, but not so good on my semi-recumbent bike. I added the binder pouch and that really stepped up the functionality and made me feel more secure since it has a mesh pocket for my ,000 hearing aids (not covered by health insurance, BTW). The pouch swivels around on the keysnap which really floats my boat. You can see I’m very much an analog type. No electronic PDA or iPod or what and the pay-as-you-go phone is the one I started out with and it’s rarely turned on. Oh yes, there is my digital camera which I also carry everywhere, but not shown because I’m using it, of course. I can even cram in a book, small water bottle and lunch which my old bag could not.

Everything for a skate (slalom) class, Red Hat training course (RHCSA), and a visit with some friends in Atlanta, GA. Eight day trip. The skates take up a boatload of space as does the Macbook. Neither of which I normally travel with.
Moderate Embarrassment

The M.E. is compact and slingable, with plenty of pockets and zippered compartments such as will hold documents, clutch pencils, pens and notebook batterys. The X200 is sticking out slightly thanks to the 9-cell battery, but it’s a snug and secure fit.

your hearing aids aren’t covered by insurance?! that sucks! good luck with keeping them in one piece
pay-as-you-go phones are the best type of cell phones. i don’t know why someone would pay >$50 a month for a regular plan!
They’re not covered because they’re a prostheis. I guess if you need body parts you’re out a’ luck here in the US of A. I’ve lost only one pair in my 18 years of having hearing aids, then I upgraded to these during the dot.com era (when I had extra money from so much work). These filter out more noise. I didn’t think the top of the line digital ones were worth the extra nuance in filtering.
Yeah, cell phones can be an addiction, too.
I like those style letter openers
when I have to use one
but mostly I just rip the short side
off the envelope when I can
Stunned about the hearing aids
That’s assinine
I’m going to risk saying that opening the envelope at the short end seems to be a guy thing, maybe because it’s efficient and it leaves a long narrow, tubular passage to look into. Hee. I like to think of the envelope as a jacket that I can then use to file the contents until I’m ready to take action. And I don’t have to dispose of the little strip after tearing off from the short end. Perhaps it gives me separation anxiety.
Wa Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!
