It got cold yesterday. Which brings me to helpful hint #1...don't walk with your hands in your pockets, wear gloves. It only took me two falls to figure this one out. If you don't break your fall with your hands, you'll break it with your head, face, shoulder or tailbone. Skin and hair from my head are still clinging to the brick wall of the Chillicothe Post Office from my hand-in-pockets stumble of 2007. Whether you are running along a trail with your buds carrying a rifle or just "running into" the post office, be careful.
Helpful hint #2...keep track of your keys. I am so old that I remember when you could go to the hardware store to have another key for your car cut for about $1. After 2+ weeks of looking, I finally gave up on finding the key/fob to Pam's car that "I" lost ("I" is in paratheses because last time I
lost a key it ended up being discovered in a co-workers purse 6 months later...I don't want to name names, but Corky remembers that). So this hint is...don't lose your keys, they cost more than makeup ($42.50 for 1.7oz.). This week I called the Ford place to inquire about getting a new key and fob. No problem, new key $40!?! New fob, $45!?! That's alot. Then they told me I had to have a service appt. to have the key synced to the vehicle or it would not work. I did it, new key, out the door, $152.80. Hint #3...um, well, that's kind of it.
In summary, don't walk with your hands in your pockets and keep track of your keys. Enjoy this Friday and I look forward to seeing Em, Kevin and Pam tomorrow evening when we serve. Tim and Gail Thorson reported that they will be absent this Saturday. Didn't give a reason, but I am guessing its family stuff.
