Car Keys and cell phones

There goes the pattern. Should have known better than to point it out – murphy’s law. So the latest thing gone missing is my car keys. I was running a little late Saturday morning. Threw some clothes into my bag and went to head out the door and my car keys were MIA. I thought they were on the table which means that probably one of the guys (i.e. walter, but there’s no proof) knocked them off and played soccer with them until they got stuck behind something. Hunted high and low and no luck. I’m convinced they’re now hanging out with my watch which I’m certain is somewhere in my apartment. Luckily I have a spare – but just one so am trying extra hard not to misplace this set.



On a different note, I did discover there is a pass through in my car so traveling with skis was a piece of cake. Unfortunately there was no snow this weekend. A beautiful snow on Tuesday evening. I watched the big snowflakes fall but not stick while sitting in my office in the city. When I got home I had the pleasant surprise that the snow was sticking to the ground and folks were out shoveling. It was a gorgeous evening with the heavy snow on the tree branches and that strange back light of the night sky from the snow storm.





Unfortunately, I realize I’m not being entirely upfront here. The latest thing to go missing is not my keys but my cell phone. I’m hoping it’s not on silent but it went missing last night. Don’t quite know where the silver lining is in all this but while I was surfing to nab a picture of keys, I found this brief article stating that “Cell Phones Can Disable Nissan Car Keys”. Particularly the 2007 Altima and the Infiniti G35 Sedans. Nice! I guess it doesn’t really matter since they’re both missing. Here’s hoping they both turn up, along with the other stuff, and that Nissan’s fixed the problem since the article came out in May 2007.
