As you asked, I DO have a backup set of *almost* all the keys that I need. The
rest, I CAN break into relatively easily. [EG]
...

I suspect that because I had no pockets when I used them last, that they JUST
ended up in the freezer. Now that they weren't there (I was fetching bread from
an outdoor freezer at the time.) I expect they got buried or placed where I
know they would not be found by the feline. 

PS: JUST found them, but two days after the city towed my vehicle. I should
have looked in the coat pocket *first*.

There are things I despise about a database look-up, but on the whole I confess
to preferring it.

 AH>  ... anybody who's interested in finding out more about me

Bloody hell that there *has* to be an issue about identity theft.

 Technically, a cable or DSL Internet "box" *is* a modem.


[RE: Pop culture/Interpersonal relations]
 AH>           Nature or nurture?  At any rate, I like the way you do it.

Shucks... Doin' what I can with the tools I gots.  Thanks!


 JB>  My Vancouver sister and I just exchanged a volley of
 JB>  HILARIOUS reminiscent emails about Dad and our upbringing
 JB>  in his honor. He had some bad traits, but MANY more good.

 AH>           My father & I didn't always get along, but I'm
 AH> grateful now for what he taught me.  I reckon most people
 AH> are probably a mixture of good & bad.  :-)

Like most, I suspect we both realize how we could have listened better at
times, and at other times how misguided *they* were. But who supports a hallo
and does the devil have a spaded tail? We are ALL somewhere in between.

 JB>  I should toss you [the Vancouver sister's] contact info,
 JB>  if I remember to mention you to her in August.


 AH>           Sounds to me like a good idea.  It would give us
 AH> another way to keep in touch if some disaster occurred
 AH> computerwise.  Meanwhile, I read my netmail almost daily.
 AH> I read my e-mail when the spirit moves....  :-)

Oh, shoot!!! I DID mention this forum often throughout her visit last month,
although I forgot to ask directly if she would like to chat with you
individually. Her background in social work does have her talk too much, so
maybe I'll give her your BBS phone number and node address to see if she
figures it out.
