Keys to the World

We've handed the keys to our world to a new face, a different face. Of course, it is a lawyer's face, so we have to be watchful. But -- welcome to the 21st century, America. It's past time to move on. And we hope our new president will help us move up, as well.

Speaking of keys (neat segue, what?), I was handed the job (and the box) of finding out what all the 100s of miscellaneous keys lying around the campground actually unlock. Let's see: there's the store with two doors, the ice chest, the filing cabinets, nine cabins in the main campground, a house with two doors and an annex and double garage, breaker boxes, bathrooms, laundry, barn, toolshed. The Cliff 7 campground has at least two cabins and a house, the river gate, more breaker boxes. And who knows what all else.

Some cabins have deadbolts, some don't. For the big house, I found keys that work in the front doorknob (but not the deadbolt) and in the back door deadbolt (but not the knob). I've found three unofficial keys that open three different cabins (one key open all 3, one key opens 2, and one open one)

And, you know, keys are dirty. Say it with me: It's a dirty job but somebody's got to do it.

There. We all feel better now, right?
