c'mon... this, btw, reminded me a very nice quote from Julian Barnes' "HA istory of the world in 10.5 chapters" which goes on like this:
"you are arriving home-or you think you are-and as you approach the garage you try to work your routine magic (with the remote control). nothing happens, the doors remain closed. you do it again. again nothing. at first puzzled, then anxious, then furious with disbelief, you sit in the driveway with the engine running, you sit there for weeks, months, for years, waiting for the doors to open. but you are in the wrong car, in front of the wrong garage, waiting outside the wrong house.
one of the troubles is this: the heart isn`t heart-shaped."
eventhough, with this quote, it looks like a book for sissies, it is a very `crunching` one.

I must be very simplistic. I thought the twist in the garage story would be the remote was outta batteries....
