At work we have these little sheets of weird/interesting/informative facts in every bathroom called "Captive Audience," and they get updated twice a month.
This month they had something that made me laugh... it's a list of all the things you should have in your car during the winter to ensure safety if you were to ever get stranded. The list is so long I don't see how anyone could actually go anywhere with a family. There wouldn't be room for the kids! "Sorry Grandpa & Grandma - all of us wanted to come, but we had to leave two of your grandkids at home so we'd have room for all the stuff we'd need in case we were caught in a snowdrift."
Here are the suggestions of what every safety-conscious person should have in their vehicles at all times during the winter months...
~Shovel
~Sand or cat litter (for traction)
~Tire chains
~Booster cables
~Cell phone
~Extra warm clothing or boots
~Ice scraper
~Small tools (evidently you get to choose which small tools you want with you - choose wisely!)
~Winter sleeping bag or blankets
~Snack food
~Water
~Flashlight with good batteries (You get to choose on this one as well - which are "good" batteries??)
~Matches
~Newspaper
~Games & toys (If you don't have room for the kids, what good are the games and toys?)
~Ziplock bags (I will not put what they did next to this one!)
~A 12 volt adapter coil heater that can plug into the lighter to heat water
So, drive quietly and carry a full carload!

Wow, no wonder people need monster SUVs these days! I don't know if my mini van would even hold all that! But then, I only have to deal with rain. :-)
I think I've been slacking. I'll head right over to walmart and buy every single one of those items![as you can tell, I put lots of faith in something posted in bathrooms :)]
Don't you have a trunk?...most of it would fit there no?....but it is funny that they take the time to put that up in the bathroom.
