Trying to make amends I guess.


There is something about taking orders from a talking machine ... I

That's what I said when I got the thing as a gift. Tried to give it
away.
Now I wouldn't travel far from home without it. It's really handy on the
road away from home territory. But locals best know how to get where
you're going.

Don't get me wrong, I think GPS is a great invention, but I use it more
as a road map. It's not the using of GPS that bothers me, it's the
taking orders from the damn machine.
