So I was at the grocery market and this chick totally started checking me out while I was in the frozen foods section. She came up next to me and ... just kidding. Yush always says that a great intro can capture a reader; I hope that this faux introduction will lure you into reading the rest of this drivel. I'm so evil.

It strikes me that I'm quite a selfish person when it comes to my time. In any case, I've been trying to actively make amends by making myself more available for help; apparently this girl at my church (only 3 years in America!) wants help with her admissions essay to Carolina so here I am at 4am trying to help her out. Ho hum.

. . .

It strikes me that one of the few useful skills that everyone should be taught (and by everyone I honestly only really mean males) is how to pick a basic lock. For example, my forgetful sister somehow managed to lock herself out of the house she's watching (which really is close to impossible; three separate events had to occur for this to happen, and my sister somehow managed to fulfill all three). We're late for the SAT tutoring session (I teach her and three other high school students), so we go back home. My sister calls my mom once my mom returns from her bible study; my mom calls the owners who say the window to the garage is unlocked.

So once we get back home, I pick up my mom and we drive over to the house ... and the window to the garage is _not_ unlocked. Great. So we go around back to double check the door... and it's still locked. I notice it's one of those doors which have the curved locks that you can use a CC to unlock ... so after double checking with my sister I decide just to use the ol' CC trick and open the door. Good stuff. But that's when I started thinking about how nice it would be to learn how to break a basic lock (and also to learn how to break car locks).

Maybe there's a website about this ... hmmm.....
