well, i locked myself out of the car for the first time ever today. anyone out there who’s ever done the same thing knows exactly how i felt as i stared through the window at my keys dangling from the ignition, dumbfounded by my own stupidity.

luckily, Tom–the Korean guy who worked at the nail salon across the street–just happened to have car unlocking tools in his trunk and graciously helped me get the door open. i gave him six bucks (all the cash in my wallet) and a bottle of lemonade from the corner store to show my gratitude.

there are still some good people in this world :)
