I carry a 5 D-cell Maglite in my car. The thing is massive. I figured it was the largest they made, but of course I was wrong. US Calvary has a 6 D-Cell Maglite for $25.88. And at a full 1lb (19 1/2 inches of head to tail steel), the thing doubles as a club for night time protection.

Eric Richardson lives in Atlanta, Georgia, where he works on payments infrastructure for Cash App.

Past lives involved streaming audio for Southern California Public Radio, running a hyperlocal news site for Downtown Los Angeles, working on custom mapping code, and writing Perl at the Jet Propulsion Labratory.
