(I know it's plastic, but you're *driving* right? A car is more than 50% plastic, not to mention everything else)<BR/><BR/>I write right on the windshield!<BR/><BR/>I write lyrics when I think of them, names of songs or artists I hear, reminders to myself, anything! It rubs right off with a cloth when you don't need it any more.<BR/><BR/>BTW, I also keep my canvas totes in my car at all times, like "mr. heller."<BR/><BR/>(Be sure to stop at a light or in a parking lot before you start writing!!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-766882701166934144.post-82781591699767458362008-07-15T15:32:00.000-07:002008-07-15T15:32:00.000-07:00Hi,I struggled with remembering my canvas bags for...Hi,<BR/>I struggled with remembering my canvas bags for a couple years until I came up with a simple solution that has worked beautifully for me. I just store them (I also have 3) under the driver's seat in my vehicle. I can't tell you how many times I have driven to the store, gotten out and started walking in when I go, "Oops, need those bags." <BR/><BR/>Also, this works for when you make the unplanned stop at the grocery store on the way home from work or the like. <BR/><BR/>I have started trying to remember to bring my bags into other establishments (book stores, clothing stores, etc.) and it helps having them in the car so that I can still make good on this effort when I think of it as I pull into the parking lot.Mr. Hellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14072414292941733688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-766882701166934144.post-16309078288021483712007-10-29T17:25:00.000-07:002007-10-29T17:25:00.000-07:00I love this idea!

I spent a year living in Germany, and from what I could tell most Germans who drive to the grocery store (most people living in big cities don't need to) keep baskets or boxes in the trunks of their cars like you do. <BR/><BR/>I will still always love my canvas bags, though, since I need to have a bag or two with me at all times so I can carry home any spur of the moment purchases.Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11704564414066998644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-766882701166934144.post-32565023320334846822007-10-29T17:16:00.000-07:002007-10-29T17:16:00.000-07:00I keep two sturdy cardboard boxes in my trunk.

( The produce section often has double thickness ones with handle holes. ) They hold as much as four bags, checkers are more likely to use them, (They stay open.) and I don't have to worry about roll-aways in my car.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
