So, I finally asked Yi about some lost keys.
Is there a key club membership card?

I had acquired three 8 foot tall wooden bookshelves, and borrowed a truck to transport them to my apartment. I parked the truck, pulled the keys (to which my apartment keys were also attached) out of the ignition and paused before exiting the vehicle to respond to a forum post (stupid smatphones). I took one step out of the vehicle and instantly realized they keys were gone.
I immediately began searching the interior of the truck, under the seats. every nook and cranny. A few inches of snow had fallen so I searched through the slush in the street.
I took every item out of the interior and placed it in the bed of the truck, looking everywhere I could think of.
After one and a half hours as I felt a sort of madness start to set in,
I said to myself, "ok. no madness today.",
I calmed down and asked where the keys were:
The answer was 52.3.6 (2)

I focused my search on the ground
(not moving + earth) for another 30 minutes, climbing under the truck multiple times.
I finally gave up that route and called someone for assistance. The person showed up (the leader in 2) and within 5 seconds found the keys on the ground in the snow covered grass, further than I imagined they could have fallen.
In hindsight I realized the only way they could have fallen so far away would have been by some sort of push. The keys were on my lap, by my waist (line 3?) I paused my actions to answer the forum post(line 6?), then when I stepped out, the keys pulled by gravity acquired a horizontal propulsion from the movement of my knee.

So, there you have it.

The moral of this tale is never respond to posts here on your smartphone. For one thing answers on phones are truncated and look like one has not bothered to write properly. For another thing it is possible to lose things whilst your attention is away from the real world when you are in the real world.

We could have a competition on the 'Top Ten weirdest places I have posted to Clarity' in.

Mine aren't very weird

in bed
in laundry room
in car
in waiting rooms
in cafes

I don't recommend these places as the best base to produce coherent responses from.

I think you can tell where a person is by how they writea constant stream like this with no punctuation withlotsof shortcutsand writing u insted of u andlall thatthesepeople areonbuses or trains and they write wit the rythm and speedof the mode of transpoooort theyareon.

I don't know about aeroplane posters

Agreed. My text and responses when using my phone are a lot shorter and less punctuated.

Just noticed how lines 3 and. 6 are the solid lines that make the trigrams create the symbol for limits. So when you got them as change lines you were symbolically blowing past the limits! Tossing the keys beyond the boundaries! Hurray. you found them.
