    You think the big orange signs would have been a tip-off.

      Yep. Drove on that same stretch of road later in the evening.

        Is there some requirement that all women have to carry two bags when they go out?

        Every woman on the train has at least two bags, if they carry a computer with them they might even have three bags (although one of these bags generally is called a "purse").

        Finally I saw a woman who looked like she was carrying one bag....until she got closer and I noticed that she had her purse inside the other bag....

          You're trying to make sense of something that women do...about 98% of women are the most illogical creatures on the planet, the other 2% are engineers.
          Having a clear conscience just means you have a bad memory or you had a boring weekend.

            My wife (also an engineer/scientist) and I have a running joke that she carries a purse and several "sub-purses."

              Once, when my wife was sick, she asked me to get something for her out of her purse....it seems to me that women's purses somehow violate the law of conservation of mass, since once you empty a purse you realize there is no possible way for all of that stuff to fit inside such a relatively tiny volume without some kind of fourth dimension being involved somehow.

                MAD Magazine did a lampoon of Fantastic Voyage (Fantast-echh) way back when on the exploration of a women's purse.

                    I take a backpack along with me to the office. It contains my breakfast, lunch, Kindle, an umbrella, sunglasses, and sometimes a pair of shoes when I take them home to polish (normally leave work shoes at my desk). The thing has six pockets on it. If I'm using more than two I consider it full.

                      There's a billboard campaign underway in Manhattan, probably other boroughs too, (though why they have it up during the summer???? ) saying "It's 9:00 AM. Do you know where your children are?" and it then proceeds to explain that if children are absent from school too much, they won't learn and won't progress in life, after which it describes ways that parents can check on their child's attendance record.

                      I've inserted the link to the press release touting the program.

                          There is a joke about some researchers who were doing a survey. They made phone calls at 9:00 pm to families with teens to ask the parents if they knew where their children were. The first three calls were answered by teens who didn't know where their parent were.

                              One friend once compared my purse to Mary Poppins' carpet bag-he was amazed at all the things I pulled out of it. Then again, I'm an engineer too so I'm just good at efficiently using the space.

                                Per the show description for, "Mermaids: The Body Found" on DSCHD tonight at 8:

                                Examining the speculation that the mythical sea creatures may be real-and claims that authorities are keeping it a secret.
                                Two hours for this? Really?
