We have all been there. The morning before a long trip to the camp site, and you think you have everything packed, only to arrive at the site many hours and miles later just to realize you forgot something. You probably want to toss your keyboard at this point. And how about the times you see another camper arrive with a technology or tool you did not even think, and the only thing you can mutter underneath your breath is, “ Why didn’t I think of that?”
