Alarming Update
I should have known better than to blog about my car alarm's supposed two-year stint. At 3AM the next morning, my alarm honked and echoed down the alley behind our apartment. I ran through the apartment, grabbed my keys and hurried down the steps to find the gate to our complex open, but not a person, car or other trigger near my car. Of course, I neglected to don my glasses so something may have blurred along in the darkness.
CM said to give it one more night. A cat may have jumped on the hood. Or someone partying at the new neighbor's downstairs may have nudged the car as he/she drunkenly left in the wee hours of the morning. And, of course, I couldn't get back to sleep, wondering if the alarm would blare again.
The funny thing is that the alarm hasn't sounded since then.
Maybe it's toying with me....

Hey, one more thought..... My mom had a car years ago that would start just fine one day and not the next. Over and over, month after month...no rhyme nor reason. They finally discovered it was the electronic security system in the car. They removed it and the car ran fine forever after that. I wonder if it's a short or malfunction in a sensor or wiring.
Thought of you this morning as I flew into/out of LGB. Doing it again tomorrow morning.
I would disengage that alarm. Why put up with all that stress? Of course, don't blame me if it gets stolen.
or it could be haunted
Why am I thinking of "My Mother the Car"?
Ha, it is messing with you. Waiting till you get into the best of your sleep and then going off.
