Locked out
Well, I obviously do not have a future in weather prediction.
Last night after work I though "what you be nicer than a DVD and a pizza tonight?" So I went to the local Blockbuster
and ... locked the keys in the car. I asked the folks at Blockbuster for a phone book and dialed up some locksmiths. Three
businesses, ones with big yellow-page ads, didn't even answer the phone. I started calling the little ads and finally
someone answered the phone.
She said it would be $75.
Ha! I walked back to work, found someone to let me in, and called Papa (who has a second set of keys). All's well that
ends well — but so much for my hankering for pizza and a movie. And when I got back home, naturally, the Internet was down.
