Sounds like generally good advice, with or without a laptop on hand.

I have to admit I prefer living in places where you can leave your laptop on the front seat of your running car and come back twenty minutes later and it’s all still there.

But that’s a luxury and I know it.

We have that and it's one of the few perks of our suburban hell. My neighbor was gone for two weeks and had 10-20 packages on his doorstep. Our only concern was that rain might get to them.

We had just moved into a small town and then left for a week or so in the winter; the sheriff tracked down my phone (presumably from there real estate agent) and called to make sure we were OK when the driveway didn’t get plowed after a snowstorm.

Username makes me a little apprehensive nonetheless

Such jokes are a luxury as well
