I've found car keys in the strangest places throughout our office.
Do you remember the American Express advertising slogan, "Don't leave home without it."
During the workday people in our office will acquire something perishable to take home at the end of the day. When they reach for their car keys to go home they are forced to remember where they had put the keys with the items they wanted to take home for dinner that evening.
Rarely, will you hear someone in our office ask, "Has anyone seen my car keys?"
That's so rare no one here has invested in one of those key-ring gadgets that respond to a whistle.

We built our house to hang on the side of a hill overlooking a river. The front entrance is on the top street level where we have our office. Living quarters are "way down the hill."
Three split-level floors accommodate to the slant of the bedrock. There are twenty-two stair steps from the bottom level to the front entrance.
Not surprisingly, we developed the habit of leaving items on stairs so AS-U are going up or down a level you or anyone can take them to the next level.
Besides adding ASUs to our vocabulary, they have become a permanent pattern in our better organized lives.
