I've got to get used to these things. For the last 14 years I didn't even carry house keys. When I lived in Bozeman I didn't even have house keys...in fact, I think that when we sold the house in Bozeman we had get new locks installed.
It's not that I feel unsafe in Milwaukee (I don't)... but I've acquired many more of these key things. There's two keys just to my house (a key to get in and then a key to my upstairs apartment)... In fact, my apartment door automatically locks behind me. I am so not used to grabbing keys before I leave the house. In Montana, my (few) keys just stayed in the (unlocked) car all night. It's just a matter of time before I lock myself out. I'm pretty sure that day will coincide with the coldest day this winter. Hope the landlord is handy.
Meantime, at work, I've got another door that locks automatically behind me...and I've got keys for both the studio office and the annex office across the street. After losing 25 lbs. recently, I'm pretty sure that my extra key weight could drop my pants to the floor at any time. Who knew that keys would be near the top of my list of challenges when adapting to a new city?
