We have a young engineer from Quebec here for several days. When unloading all his gear [a bloody lot] I remarked that he travels heavy.
In his heavily accented English I think he said someyhing about “being prepared for unforeseen circumstances”.
Not sure this comes under the unforeseen category, it sure is the first time I have come across some one who travels with their own boot dryer.

He made it himself so we don’t want to be too critical do we, besides he is a nice friendly guy, and double besides, he plans on spending 3 months in Brisbane leaning English.
I guess we could come up with lots of funny stuff about that, but not as funny as if he intended spending time in St. John’s leaning diplomacy.
