I carry flashlight in commuter bag in case train ever stops unexpectedly and we get to walk thru tunnel to station. But they didn’t do that. Pulled front of train to station and made us walk thru the other cars to exit. So no BART spelunking adventure for me today.

Can't say I eat a lot of Campbell's soup but def keep some in the pantry. When you're in a pinch and a dish needs fat, sodium and pitch-perfect viscosity it'll do the job. It's the bail bondsman of food products, you'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it.
