Dog tags for everyone...

I was always worried about W out running, and not having ID--everything we could carry it in would get so wet, it was illegible. Then we discovered the FIXX and its siblings.

We got W one for his running shoe, and I decided to get one for me, because the way the kids drive in this neighborhood, walking at night could be scary--or even going to the mailbox. Also--we put my sister's phone number on my ID, so if we're together and something goes wrong, someone in the greater family can be reached.

I got "The FIXX" because I feared the ankle one wouldn't be seen in my long gardening pants, and the wrist bracelet would get in the way.

Chose the Location Earth pic for the front, of course.

RoadID.com also has the coolest, brightest flashers I've ever seen. They can be steady lights as well. And in red, green and blue--we got a red and a blue, so we can be seen coming and going. A big deal in this neighborhood!

So you don't sew his name in his underwear?

Wouldn't that be a little forward of me? 8^) I mean, we've carefully not washed our underwear together. Who knows what might happen?

Go to the site. Think of it as a runner in a race in a strange state, hit by a car or suddenly collasping, an emergency van arrives--and they are miles from race start, have no idea how to reach anyone who can speak for the person....

Oh, no, don't get me wrong; it makes perfect sense.

It's just that I have to make the joke once it pops into my head. ;)

Then perhaps I should point out that when two people who aren't married wash their clothes together, then the socks start to vanish. At the same time, coat hangers multiply in the front hall closet...and a bike appears in the garage.

Coincidence? I think not....
