I know it sounds crazy, but it's actually possible (and easy) to live
without a remote for a car.

I have a secret supply of books. Paper books. You can look up recipes and
home repair stuff without turning on the computer. Keep this quiet.

Not when I get $125 off my insurance for having an automatic alarm in my
Supra and my Scion! The Scion was standard, the Supra was $49, and an
afternoon to install.

Sounds like a deal to me!

Heh! In my living room, there's a 30 year old ponytail plant, aka Beaucarnea
recurvata. That plant could steal your car before you or the police would
have a clue.

I have:
The keys to the house.
The keys to the shop.
The keys to my Supra.
The keys to my van.
The remote to my Supra.
The key, which includes the remote, to my Scion.
In BOTH pockets.

And, my cell phone in my left pocket.

Now, *I* have a LUMP!!!

And my keys are pretty conspicuous, too!

But do you guys remember how he used to walk around????

And, '55-59? I was TWO in 1959, and I remember watching it on a local
channel before the news. I think I was 6 or so. Must have been in
Sydication by then!
