Wow, I guess I haven't had a flat tire in over a half year! That's pretty good!
But last Monday, just as I was leaving office on my folding bike, I discovered that the rear tire was flat. I pumped it up and rode to the station (¾ mile) thinking "I'll patch it on the train," and of course forgot to patch it. Pumped up four times riding home, where I finally got around to patching the tube. There was an opened tube of glue in my patch kit, completely dry... but also an unopened tube. Whew!
