“Good evening. I am organising a “key club” – it seems to be the thing to do. For the uninitiated, a “key club” is one which members can enter only if they process a key.

“When we arrived here we found Mr. Yancey gone to Liberty Court (16 miles off) and the keys of the house could not be obtained untill his return; Burwell had shaken open the front door so that we could enter & get into several of the rooms of the house but our chamber door in which room all the bedding was locked. Besides that, nothing either to eat or drink could be obtained, & to make the matter worse, the hard winter had killed almost everything in the garden. We satisfied our hunger with the wrecks of our travelling provisions, & whatever old Hannah & Burwell could find, after dilligently searching house & garden for several hours to collect the little that had been overlooked when the house was shut up last year, on the one hand & on the other, what the cold had spared. We were more hungry and tired than nice though, you may suppose, & at night were very contentedly about to stretch off upon the outside of the beds which had a single blanket tossed over the mattress, when the keys arrived, & in a moment we had tea & wine & comfortable beds.” — Thomas Jefferson

Because of their small profile and light weight design, handcuffs have the simplest of lock mechanisms. While these locks are strong and are generally secure enough for their application, a law enforcement officer should be aware just how easy they are to open. The picture in Figure 40 shows these cuffs being shimmed open with a thin piece of steel. Over the years, bobby pins have become just about the standard tool for this operation, probably because of their presence almost everywhere including the crack in the rear seat of your patrol car. When was the last time you checked this before taking a car out? The pictures in Figures 41 and 42 show a ball point pen’s Insides and the cuffs being opened by a key fashioned from @his pen. In this particular case, the inside of the ball point :)en was transformed into a handcuff key in about five seconds with the only tool being a nail clipper. With a little nore time and effort a much better improvised key could )e made. We hope that these two simple illustrations have made he point of how important it is to keep even the simplest of raw materials away from the dexterous cuffee.

The physical ‘key’ doesn’t start the car. Its mere proximity does. For example, you can forget the keys on a table and still start the car. You can drive all the way to work. Only when you try to start the car again will you realize that the cause has been removed. This is annoying. When you get home, you can take the keys with you without turning off the car, and it can slowly fill your house with carbon monoxide. You can physically remove the cause, but the effect continues. This is deadly. You can also have the car in neutral, push the stop button (which won’t work) and walk away. Your car can then run you over, or your children.

p.s. Hey. ** Dominik, Hi!!! Let’s see, I know I’ve used FYI, IDK, IDC, ASAP (a lot), and probably lots of others. But always with a slight cringe. I used to let myself use italics in my fiction, but then I decided even that was a cheap trick. I sound like a nun. Good that your Xmas fit the bill. I basically ignored mine, which fit my bill too. Haha (there I go), his profile was typical and uninteresting, so no temptation to use it. I’ve actually happened upon the escort or slave profiles of people I know to some degree more than a handful of times, but I always steer clear reposting-wise (well, after reading them and going ‘wow’). Did love tamp down on your sweat glands? Love making your door key world famous, and maybe the key to your heart too, G. ** NLK, Hi. Well, since I’m always making blog posts and did on Xmas too, it wasn’t totally a day off. But the non-fraternising with you was an unusual thing. Rouen. I think I’ve been there for a Gisele theater performance. Tempted to go back or just go if I’m misremembering. Have you ever been to Clermont-Ferrand? It has this really amazing, absolutely pitch black cathedral that’s almost worth the trip, although the rest of the town isn’t much. Although it is close to ‘Vulcania’, the kind of great little theme park inside a fake volcano. Grace, yeah, I know that search well. Oh, I think I’ve learned the most by far about writing from artists and musicians I’m friends with. The way they think and talk about form can be super exciting and provide awesome out-there goals for language. For years my great friend the great poet Amy Gerstler was the only person I would let read my work before I sent it to the publisher. Even then I had to feel like it was completely finished before I showed it to her. She knows what I’m up to very well, and she has a real knack for slipping in questions/criticism in such a way that it makes you think you saw the problems yourself. Since I moved over here, it’s too hard to show her things as she’s in LA. I sometimes run things by Zac because we’re very likeminded. But I’m not very into getting input into something I’m working on. I’m in such an intense bubble when I’m writing, and hearing what others think when I’m so locked down on a project just throws me off balance. But I’m weird that way. Do you feel more free and relaxed about sharing your works-in-progress with your friends or colleagues or whoever? Enjoy your day. It doesn’t look too daunting out the window so far. ** seb🦠, Hi. I guess I think it’s nice to hear that Xmas was of such a rich character as to occupy you. I can only cook in a microwave. Or boil water, I guess. The buche was crazy great. This was it. Thanks bunches for scoring ‘TMS’. Oh, no, does … it … still … work? Scary. I hope so. Jesus. My week doesn’t have a huge amount of things scheduled into it as of yet, partly because Parisians tend to exit the city betwixt Xmas and NY. But I’ll be fine. Zac is down with a winter flu at this very moment, but I will tell him hi, and since he sometimes keeps up with this blog, he might already know you to some degree. Your week, what’s up? Hopefully using your tablet in a fleet manner among other things? ** _Black_Acrylic, ‘The Cool World’ is, yes, cool. Wow, I could actually eat Bubble and squeak! And having the rudimentary vegan-ish tastes I do, it sounds delicious. I tend to think of colorful food from your neck of the world as containing loads of weird meat, so that’s excellent news. Oh, okay, about karaoke, scene. My guess was that one or more of those audience members giving the singing duo very strange looks were demonic or something and were about to slaughter them or something. Phew. ** Misanthrope, I literally don’t understand how one could chill without becoming extremely bored. 23, the magic number (some say). Solid Xmas booty. What does Mr. Chalamet smell like? No, I got zip for Xmas, nothing, not a molecule. Other than two Xmas cards, one from John Waters and one from my friend the artist Vincent Fecteau. That’s it. I am Xmas bereft. ** Bill, You’ve returned. I guess lag and you are old pals or consensual enemies by now. I will try to find ‘Hippo’. It and your comparisons sway me. Plus, can you think of anything named Hippo that isn’t great? I can’t. Welcome home, sir. ** Darby 🫀🫀, I thought those were strawberries at first. I grew up in a house with a grand piano. It was in the living room, which was directly underneath my bedroom. My mother had trained to be a concert pianist when she was young but gave that up to marry my dad and have kids, and she hugely regretted that. During her awful, lengthy alcoholic phase she would sit down at that piano every night and drunkenly play ‘Rhapsody in Blue’ over and over for hours and hours. But I like pianos anyway. I’ve never thought about it before, but I think I do like organ grinders, yes. When George was a kid, it was during the prog rock era, and he composed these kind of classical-ish things with tricky time signatures and stuff. When he got older and his condition fully set in, he had a hard time actually composing things, and they were mostly really sad, melancholic things. He was obsessed with Nic Drake, so they were kind of in that realm. On the 24th. Mine’s on the 10th. So … we’re both Capricorns or whatever. Or, wait, maybe you’re Aquarius. I don’t even really know what those terms mean, to be honest. Anyway, birthday boys unite! ** Okay. Today I’ve made you the third of my blog’s sporadically recurring key-centric posts for whatever hopefully good reason. See you tomorrow.
