Yesterday morning could have been a complete disaster, not just the partial disaster that it became. I was all set up, ready to film a scene in which I had waited for over an hour to unfold. With cold numb fingers, just as the action began, I clumsily shut off the record button. Next, a puff of wind knocked over my tripod and movie camera (fortunately not permanently damaged, but very disconcerting nonetheless). In the rule of bad things happen in threes, while unloading my gear, I accidentally locked myself out of our car.
Not the first time to have happened, my husband’s solution was to put a spare key under the car, in a magnetic box. I reached under the car and, through a winter’s worth of mud and crud, found the little box and was able to quickly get out of a jam. I’m so happy I married a Boy Scout! (in reality, he never was a scout, but you’d never know because he certainly adheres to the motto be prepared.) Thank you honey!
Good Morning Gloucester 
I also have one of those magnetic key boxes, but I can never remember where I hid it in the rust jungle.

By the second time I remembered, mainly because the gunk was so gross!

I don’t need it to be a secret, just there when needed.

And now, if any of us were so inclined, we could steal your car! Glad you have such a thoughtful hubbie.

Is that a regular thing in Gloucester, people stealing cars?

I don’t think it is at all, that is why I said if someone were so inclined. I think bicycles are more people’s speed, and even then not very often. I think we all agree that Gloucester is one of the safest and most caring and sharing communities any of us could want to live in, which is why we do. I remember when I once said on blog that I left my door unlocked, people jumped all over me telling me I shouldn’t broadcast that on the blog. I was quite surprised, but it didn’t change my practice.
