HI GUYS
Bemy extorted me into making a (first) blog post, and alana gave me the inspiration as for the content, so here goes.
Let me set the scene for you. Friday, August 15th. 1:30 PM. A young man hastily fills up his gas tank just before driving to work for the afternoon. He is right on schedule, as always. Tired, as usual, but hey, gas is back to $4.05/gal, so it really isn't all that bad. Right?
Wrong.
Locked in his car, he quickly realizes, are his car keys.
Anyways, I'm feeling a little bit of an exhaustion fever coming on, so i'll keep the subsequent events brief. In a controlled fury, I stormed over to my neighborhood ACE hardware demanding crowbars and wood wedges with the kind of vigor the worst kind of postal worker might exhibit. With 10 minutes, a crowbar, 3 wood wedges, a wire hanger, and a very (very!) short fuse, I managed to fish my keys out of the passenger seat, which were lounging comfortably, completely oblivious to the whirlwind of stress and construction hardware that it took to get them out.
And, in the end, I got to work with 1 minute to spare.
The crowbar is awaiting return to ACE.

How do you do that? You need AAA. I'm very impressed. Love you!
i used up all my AAA free-opens for the year.
it would have cost $60, and i would have been late :D.
hey jake - be careful. when i was your age i went through a spree of locking my keys in my car about once a week. i became very handy with a slim jim. but still very annoying and frustrating.
