“so I could bring my wives keys” How many wives do you have? |
Ok – I fixed it. Just one wife as I really don’t need or want more than one… |
I was recently on a business trip last week and for a split second while standing next to my car at 11:30 p.m., could not find my keys. Fortunately, I checked a different area of my backpack and found them. If your really lucky, you have a car where you can only get the key made at the dealership. That would just make your lost key story all the better! :-) |
Bill put a key behind the license plate of the car because I so frequently lock my keys in the car. All’s I have to do is find a screwdriver. It’s come in very handy. |
sadly Brian, I think that is the case, our Nissan has one of those keyless entry things. You don’t have a key, just a FOB that you use as to open the door using a button on the car door. The ignition switch is a button that works when the fob is near. That will likely cost a bundle… |
Yes, and if you lost it on a plane, the airlines fly it all to a huge warehouse somewhere (probably that one where the Ark of the Covenant is stowed). It sits there for a while and then it’s discarded or donated to charity. Good luck! |
Good luck with the missing-expensive to replace-key. One question: Do you reall enjoy flying? Why else would you fly from Newark to Boston, get home at 11:00 pm, only to head out the next morning to DC. Why not just fly from Newark direct to DC and skip the Boston leg? There are probably 10 different valid reasons, it just struck me as odd. My general rule of thumb for business trips is if I can be home before the kids are in bed, I head home. If not, I usually stay and explore whatever city I find myself in, i.e., take in a baseball/basketball game and catch the first flight out the next morning. I recently had a similar experience on the Acela from New Haven to Philadelphia, except instead of losing priesthood keys I left my Ipod on the train. No way that will be dropped off at any lost and found. (Thankfully Circuit City is going out of business so it was a bit cheaper to replace the lost Ipod.) |
Anne – maybe that is what I need to do… Jeff – I would love to work at that warehouse – bet they get a lot of good stuff RBC – I was supposed to get home at 7 but was delayed. I toyed with flying direct to DC once I knew I would miss the kids bedtime, but I had no change of clothes so went home and then turned around on the 6AM to DC. way it goes… Never lost an ipod yet although I am pretty sure you won’t see that again too… |
the airline warehouse (for delta, at least) is somewhere in georgia. and they’re grumpy there, and they won’t give you your things back. even if it’s only been ten days and you couldn’t call within four because it was the phone that was lost, and you were away on a trip. yep, real great customer service. just don’t take out your phone to turn it off when the pilot tells you to and somehow leave it on the plane… |
