But MAN I had terrible luck leading up to the dive. Forgot my boots, which it turns out I may have actually lost because I couldn't find them at home, and wound up buying a new pair; then, and this is the kicker, locked my keys in the car. So we dove, and it was nice, then I called first coast lock and key, my wife looked them up because apparently they're closest to the Edmonds waterfront. The girl that answers the phone then asks me a few questions:
#1 What city are you in...
![:penelope: :penelope:](./images/smilies/nutkick.gif)
Response "Ummmm... E d m o n d s..." Okaaaaayyy
#2 Where are you?
Legitimate question right? so I gave a legitimate answer "I'm by the Edmonds Kingston Ferry terminal, in the parking lot just to the right of it."
#3 I can't find that in the computer, do you have an address?"
My response: "The Edmonds to Kingston Washington State Ferry Terminal" I said this slowly in case she missed it the first time...
#4 Do you have an address?
Once again: "The Edmonds to Kingston WASHINGTON STATE FERRY TERMINAL... It is a MAJOR LANDMARK!!!"
#5 But I need an address because otherwise the computer doesn't know?
For those of you who may not know, the Wa state ferry terminals do not HAVE physical addresses, apparently this makes it very difficult for the girl in the locksmiths office to have her technician contact me so I can just give him directions directly.
Finally, I gave her the zip code and address of the coffee shop right on the corner there, at which point she says to me, well, I just needed the zip code and the locksmith will call you in 5 minutes.......
45 minutes later

So anyway, the guy finally shows, and unlocks my car for the highway robbery price of 114 dollars and 0 cents, and when he tells me he has a credit card machine what he MEANS it that he'll use his pen to rub the top of a sheet of transfer paper with my card underneath it. So now I'm probably going to be wondering where that 30,000 dollars in credit card debt suddenly sprung up from. Yeah... Fun day.
Finally saw Mz and Bfans bubbles and waited for them to get out of the water before I left, and had a good laugh with Mz about the whole deal. But damnit, next time my wife can just suck it up and drive out to me with the keys!
