You've all wanted to know

The rumors have been circulated for many years. "What does Tom carry in his bag?" The simplest answer was usually "Whatever's needed", and on many occasion it has proven to be just that.

Well, when I was digging in my field bag lately, I decided to see what was actually in there (because sometimes I forget what ends up within the thing) and grab a picture. I do believe, however, that similar to trying to take a picture of a black hole, this is just the contents of the bag at this time.

Contents:

1. Digital Camera (inside case)
2. Folding hair brush
3. Razor
4. Scotch Tape
5. Pill case
6. Nurses Sheers
7. Ipod and case
8. Notebooks (Primary, Secondary and Tertiary)
9. Sewing Kit and scissors
10. Cigarette Lighter
11. Waterproof Match Case
12. Map Magnifying lense
13. Toothpaste
14. 512 Mg Flash Drive
15. Cord 50'
16. Hot spark kit
17. Flat roll of Duct tape
18. Shake-light
19. Pens, Pencils and Highliters
20. Glue stick
21. Ruler
22. Screw driver
23. Cloth ruler
24. Cough Drops
25. Drink mix
26. White Chalk (because ya just never know)
27. Dice bag (because ya just never know)
28. Backup Spare, reserve pair of sunglasses
29. Clip knife
30. Nec Mobile Pro (Portable Text-Portal)


And this would be considered a "light" load for adventuring and Bigfoot hunting.

I have a flashlight like that - I keep it by the bed. Bright little sucker.

Now you've done it, Thomas.

Up until now, the contents of the bag existed in a indeterminate quantum state, which allowed you to just reach in and pull out whatever you needed.

Our Schrodinger's Tomcat Bag is no more. You've displayed the contents, the probability envelope has collapsed. The cat's out of the bag.

It's like being told there is no Santa Claus.

A sad day indeed.
