In my entire life, I have never had to go look for my keys as they are in the ignition, or in my pocket. On our two week trip to Alaska my keys were 100% useless as they would not fit anything for well over a 1,000 miles. When I stand up, I always pay my pockets and kinds freak if I don't feel the lump for the keys.

I have set my phone down in the car and gone inside or left it on the garage workbench. Never left it behind, or forgot where it is. It is indeed my second brain. I lived most of my life with no cell phone, but I can't imagine life without it now.

We all know that you're hyper-fastidious. I'd consider myself (in some ways) moderately fastidious. My office is often a bit of a mess (but I always know where/what all of the stuff is), and I almost never misplace my keys, wallet, pocket knife, etc... because I always put them and certain other things in the same place.

My wife NEVER seems to put anything in the same place twice, and invariably I get "I can't find my _____, can you help" and it usually only takes a min. She always thinks, I'd never put them there, but that's where they are. Or they are just someplace random. I'm just thankful that our place is small.

We still do often have the cases where I can't find stuff and she goes right to it, sometimes even after she's said "they are on the ____", and I respond, "I looked there already."
