Blinking but not beeping....Did you catch that!

Well, life is just too short to not share all the stories! Just a few weeks ago, I was intensely, and I do mean INTENSELY, studying for finals. I decided I had been inside way too long, so I stepped out on the porch to sit and study! As I was flipping through my voice literature cards, I happened to look up and see that my car had suddenly started blinking rapidly at me.......!!!!!!! WHAT IN THE WORLD!!!! I looked around furiously to see if someone had tried to break in! No good, it would have been beeping. (Have I mentioned before that my car is a beeper and not a honker-----so annoying). Well, anyway, it wasn't beeping....just blinking. Are you following me! Blinking not beeping! Next thought: Perhaps my keys fell off the table. No good! For one, the car was blinking, not beeping....Secondly, the keys were laying calmly on my bed. Ok......next thought: Maybe if I pushed the unlock button, it would stop. Didn't work So, while cautiously watching for someone to jump out at me, pepper spray in hand, I slowly walked to my car. It was still blinking (not beeping). I opened the door.....still blinking (not beeping). I sat down, turned on the car, and WHOA! No, it wasn't beeping.....but the windshield wipers and flashers were going nuts! First of all, I will admit my stupidity that I did not know how to turn off the stupid flashers. As I was about to pull out the car manual.....I happened to notice that my good friend, Miss Garmin, was not on my windshield. As I investigated further, I found her lying in my passenger seat. She had clearly been overtaken with a heat stroke from the 80 degree weather. But on her way down, she had hit the dashboard, hit the flashers (or whatever they are called--I just know they blink--but don't cause beeping), swiped my windshield wipers to on, and landed in the seat. After taking in the scene, I calmly hit the button to cut the blinking, readjusted the knob to settle down the windshield wipers, and placed Miss Garmin in a much cooler location. I then got out of my car, locked the key and walked back inside........And for those wondering, my car never did beep. It only does that at 6;30 in the morning when everyone is trying to sleep!
