Joseph's notebook

I guess it's only natural to start

forgetting things after having been

gateeeper here for 20 years. Take

that code to the back gate that they

change each month, for exampe. It's

ony 5 digits, but I still forget it.

I figure the best way is to just

set the lock to the first 5 digits

of the serial number written on the

back of it.

That way, all I have to do is flip

the lock over and read the number.

That might seem irresponsible, but I

couldn't imagine anyone actualy

figuring out that the combination is

written right on the lock. The

problem is whether or not I'll

remember. God, I'm getting old...
