You Might Get Lucky (A Modern Tragediumph)

Today I got to live through a First World Tragedy, followed by a Riotous Comedy, followed by Yet Another Triumph of Science and Human Ingenuity Over the Dark, Cold, Unfeeling Universe and its IRRESISTABLE LAWS OF THERMODYNAMICS.Scene 1:

1. Go to AVAC (local health club) to get a Swimming Workout.

2. Swim 40 minutes.

Scene 2:

3. Get out and start drying off.
4. Realize you have left your Regular Shorts on above your Swim Trunks, and they are SOAKED, and in the Pocket of your Regular Shorts is your Truck Key Fob, and it is SOAKED.
5. PANIC.

Scene 3:

6. Remember MARY is the Keeper of The Other Key.
7. Remember MARY is 90 MILES AWAY this week, along with The Other Key.
8. Start Shaking Out the Key Fob, and Blowing On It, hoping You Might Get Lucky.
9. Remember Your Wallet and Phone are both IN THE TRUCK, along with the House Keys.
10. Ramp PANIC up to a NEW LEVEL.

Scene 4:

11. Think about how it's going to Work Out if you Borrow a Phone to get a Locksmith, and the Locksmith Unlocks the Truck, but you still can't Use the Key Fob.
12. Be SAD about how Mary is going to have to Drive 180 UNPLANNED MILES tonight.
13. Repeat steps 5 through 12 for about 10 minutes.
14. Think about GETTING THE LOCKSMITH TO COPY THE KEY FROM THE KEY FOB.

Scene 5:

15. Remember your Key Fob is... A KEY, and that the Electronic Part doesn't need to work in order to UNLOCK and DRIVE THE TRUCK.

17. Finish shower and Head Out to Truck.

Scene 6 (Finale):

18. Use the Button on the Fob to UNLOCK The Door Electronically.
