Greene, I've been meaning to reply for months. In my right pocket I've got two key rings I can't live without. In addition a third key ring partially inserted with the belt-loop handle hanging out for easy access.
Sure, I could put them all on one good ring. Actually, that would never work! LOL. One ring is dedicated to the absolute necessary spares (truck/house/mom's house), those insure vehicle and a dry place to sleep. I got tired of the jingle on my body but every time I hear the sound I see my Dad. I don't mean to sound like a loon. As a youngster my bedroom was nearest the front door of our house. I'd hear him park in the drive or on the street and hear him jingle-jangle all the way to the door and wait for the quiet pause as he reached into his pocket for the (separate) house keys.
Talk about a security blanket, it was always good to know he was home. Long, long time ago but it meant a lot.
A psychologist would charge good money to examine such memories and behavior!
I've had another blog post half-written awaiting a tool delivery. It's not an endorsement or recommendation (nor as entertaining as a good memory) but I hope to make it a useful comparison of the various bed edging tools I own and use and their particular applications. There are two others I want to purchase and compare. Old dog/new trick potential, the 100 year old standard will be hard to beat but worth a look. I had a great deal of difficulty procuring what I wanted by taking delivery of "improved" models already owned. I've been eyeing some nice European varieties but I wanted to stay true to an old favorite.
Have a great day!
