I am a paranoia with it comes to car keys. When I step out of the vehicle, it's either in my hand or inside my bag which is always hung across my shoulder before I step out.Phyllishttp://ceipui.perreng.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-25010099410655495302012-07-21T13:45:45.514-05:002012-07-21T13:45:45.514-05:00POCKETS!

This wouldn't have helped unlock the car, but all necessary phone numbers would be available, i.e. to call AAA (or Coach-Net) to come help. When we were fulltiming, I had a little packet of "stuff" that resided on my person at all times. <br /><br />If there was too much "stuff" for a pocket, my Eagle Creek "Tailfeather" waist pack was strapped on, and NOT removed. Easy to pop things into it for quick access, as well as a spare key to rig and toad, and a bit of emergency cash and/or change. This item wears like iron. I wore it every day as my regular "purse" for about four or more years, and now use it occasionally as above. See at:<br /><br />http://www.zappos.com/eagle-creek-tailfeather-small-black-black<br /><br />Mine is slightly different from the video, as it has compartments inside, so maybe it is a slightly larger size than shown, although it looks to be the same size in use. Configurations change over the years, I guess.<br /><br />Any auxiliary pack would do, even one of those neck-hanging "passport" carriers touted for safe overseas traveling, just to keep emergency things handy.<br /><br />Amazon has a number of possibilities of this genre:<br /><br />http://www.amazon.com/Eagle-Creek-Travel-Gear-Pouch/dp/B001M0NWTS/ref=pd_sbs_a_5<br /><br />See at the bottom of that page for a number of other possibilities.<br /><br /> Virtual hugs,<br /><br /> Judie <br /><br />http://dorrieanne.wordpress.com/judilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13640947046484366376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-43852802508343932922012-07-21T11:34:35.130-05:002012-07-21T11:34:35.130-05:00Hate that lockout business... and yeah too bad tha...Hate that lockout business... and yeah too bad that being nice sometimes does bite you in the butt... happens to me... trying to be meaner this next year...

Good and bad... but you handle them with grace. That's probably why you've been a full-timer so long and are still enjoying it. And I don't think your good deed was punished. The locksmith probably desperately needed a job that day to buy food for his family, and you fulfilled that need. Think of it as another good deed.<br /><br />Boy, all that scaffolding around the lighthouse must have taken a while to get up!

Looks and sounds wonderful.<br /><br />I do not like to be around people with negative attitudes. One day I was racking all the leaves around the Livingston Escapees Park. A guy walked up to me and INSTEAD of saying "Great job," Looks good," he said, "You know they are just going to fall again very soon." WHAT? Does he think I don't know that. I was so angry. I just looked at him and shook my head.

I used to lock myself out of my car regularly but always had my purse with me, so I could just walk back into the airport or wherever and find a public phone to call AAA.<br /><br />I have a button on both front doors that I can press down to unlock all the doors in the vehicle, or press the other end to lock everything. I never get out of the car for any reason that I don't unlock all doors, or until I hold my hand up with my keys and make sure I have them. Glad you were able to get your door opened in a relatively short time though.Gypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052445200220681513noreply@blogger.com
