## I like what I like

I carry a lot of stuff with me on the road. A 55 pound
Briggs and Riley 36 inch suitcase, a 65 pound pelican case I
use as a toolbox, a Solo brand laptop bag, and a Samarai
Tactical backback. I am a fan of Topo Designs zipper pouches
for organization of most things, Hide and Drink leather
pouches for things such as Zyn pouches, handmade cloth book
covers with a button flap that covers the page side of a
book to protect it in my backpack (currently carrying a
hardback copy of Marcus Aurelius' Meditations in a cover
like this), a zip-up tablet case to hold other books such as
the Perl Pocket Reference, and the Emacs Pocket Guide.

I choose things based on utility and æsthetics. I like what
I like.
