Life in Los Angeles
I belong to a secret society
21 October 2009
As of this week, I am now driving a new car (new to me). It’s called Al. It’s a Nissan Altima, and although the official color is gray, it’s kind of a bluish gray, so Al is “blue steel.”
Anyway, Al has a keyless entry thing. If my fob is on my person, I can get in or open the trunk or start the car, just by pushing a button. You cannot. The button is just sitting there, but if you walk up to it and push it, nothing happens. If I walk up to it and push it, I’m in. You push it, you are zapped dead.
I feel like a member of a secret society! And yes, I just said, “If my fob is on my person.”
