Now that I have the D300s with both SD & CF slots I cannot use that alibi.
Actually that is one of the suprisingly great features of the D300. You
can make all sorts of assignments between the two card slots, duplicate
for back-up, overflow when the primary card is full, RAW on primary -
JPEG on secondary, save incamera edits to secondary, etc.

Given that purse is a LowePro Mini-trekker AW that is jammed full and
