The Key Point
Keys. They get us into places while keeping others out; that's the general idea, anyway. And as we get more responsibilities and more entrusted in our lives, we get more places we're allowed into ... hence, more keys.
At this point, I have three completely different sets of keys, each consisting of several themselves:
House: keytag (RFID tag), outside door, inside door, mailbox.
Scooter: scooter ignition, U-lock (for back wheel), discbrake lock (for front), garage remote.
Work: alarm tag (RFID tag), main entrydoor, office-side entry, lab-side lock.
10 keys. I mean, that's a lot of keys, and a lot of them aren't those skinny little metal ones, either. Some have big honkin' black rubber handle parts, which makes them (1) as thick as three regular keys, and (2) not lie flat against each other on the keyring.
It's getting overwhelming to have to carry around all these keys with me. After all, I like to travel light, and I'm not a janitor! What to do? Help!
