Mike, funny you mention that and thanks for that. I actually thought of the seventh, too. But I wanted to keep the six-pack pun in the title. So it's great you read my mind.

Talking about packing. I once saw a video art piece that was projected from the ceiling to the floor of the gallery. You'd see in birdseye perspective a suitcase being packed or rather crammed hastily within three minutes. Then the next suitcase. You'd never see the person packing, only their arms or sometimes the back. No face, no words spoken. The artist gave people the task to pack whatever they wanted if they had leave within three minutes to run for their lives. Imagine the holocaust scenario. Very strong piece. I don't look at packing the same way after that.
