 NB>>> That sort of thing isn't even in my little wallet... :)
 RH>> No, it's kind of hard to carry a (small) pocket knife, a whistle, tape
 RH>> measure, flashilight, ring of keys, etc in a small wallet. I've also
 RH>> got my asthma meds, a wallet, business cards, ID case, notebood, a
 RH>> couple of pens and more in the purse. (G)
 NB>> Exactly.  Of course, I'm carrying my small wallet, my keys, a pocket
 NB>> calendar with a pencil inside, and my phone... what I call my "hand
 NB>> purse"... unless I tuck the pieces into my jacket pockets...  :)  I
 NB>> actually have a surprising amount of stuff tucked away therein,
 NB>> though.

 RH> My 4 essentials are keys, ID card case, cell phone and albuterol. I
 RH> can always tuck a few dollars into the ID card case. The wallet has,
 RH> besides the usual cash & cards, a zip pocket that I keep a few band
 RH> aids, (wrapped) toothpicks, some pepto and lact aid tablets, a couple
 RH> of saftey pins and a few other odds & ends. The wallet would be number
 RH> 5 on the list of essentials.

My wallet has cards, ID, cash/coin, safety pins, paperclips, spare keys,
a small pencil, bobby pins, stamps... not sure what else, but have
tucked in a pill or two on occasion, too...  And all in the space of
about 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 x 2 or so...  ;)   I could probably add a flashlight
or such to the keyring, but haven't really needed them.  I found that
the cell phone can serve as a flashlight, too...  :)
 
 RH>> They've really taken off in the past few years around here. It gives a
 RH>> person a chance to try and see if there's a demand for a certain type
 RH>> of food without the layout for a brick & mortar restaurant. They're
 RH>> also a lot easier to take to an event than having to pack up all sorts
 RH>> of equipment from the restaurant, set up & cook, then repack to go home
 RH>> & unpack back at the restaurant.
 NB>> Right...  so it can either be a way of breaking into the market, or an
 NB>> adjunct to an existing restaurant...  :)

 RH> I've seen them both ways, very often starting as a truck and then
 RH> moving to a fixed site. I think more trucks are on the road now because
 RH> the economy isn't the greatest for starting a brick & mortar place and
 RH> a truck will satisfy the "need to cook" some folks have.

One of my nephews has a food truck that is the starting point for what
he hopes will be a career in cooking...  And I've seen food trucks for
Red Osier around, both in the airport and at office complexes, which I
know is a brick&mortar restaurant of some age and duration, I think down
in Avon or that vicinity...  :)

 RH>> Every few months I see there's a food truck "rodeo" in Raleigh,
 RH>> Durham or Chapel Hill where a number of truck set up in a certain
 RH>> place, usually on a Sunday tho, so that leaves us out.
 NB>> Your Life Group meets just about every Sunday....?

 RH> Just about every Sunday, yes. Sometimes we just do accountability and
 RH> split but most weeks we have a meal with it. Also, the church does a
 RH> combined Life Group event every so often when we just meet (picnic,
 RH> Super Bowl chili cook off, etc) where we just eat and visit with
 RH> others. 

So you'd not be free to check out the food truck rodeo while it
gathers...  :)
