Default Finally decided on auto GPS

Since I couldn't find the Garmin nuvi 765 up here... and especially not on
sale, I picked up a new Garmin nuvi 265W.
It is on sale at 'The Source' (formerly Radio Shack) for $139.00 CDN.
Well, I should say my mom bought it...as a birthday present for me.
This unit seems to have pretty solid reviews, and although a basic unit,
will do me just fine.
The lack of the 'Traffic Notice' feature won't affect me around here... I'd
have to drive about a thousand miles to use it.

My wife travels more than I do, and ends up renting cars in areas of the
country typically unfamiliar to her. She's used the Garmin I got for her
four times now on trips, and says it's a lifesaver.

I see the ID Spoofers have been let out of their cribs by their mommies...

Donny should know every dirt road and cow path on his teeny weenie island by
now. No need for GPS there. The GPS should come in handy, though, if he ever
decides to venture out into the real world on the mainland.

I'm the real Harry, and I post from a Mac, as virtually everyone knows.
If a post is attributed to me, and it isn't from a Mac, it's from an ID
spoofer who hasn't the balls to post with his own ID.

I'm certain if you had the balls to post the area in which you live,
we'd find at least a million ways to insult you and it.

But...you don't even have the balls to post with your own handle...

Nova Scotia, by the way, has some spectacular vistas, and would be an
interesting place for a real boater (unlike you) to live.

I live in Huntingtown, MD. on a gentleman's farm. I have a Maryland red
barn there. I don't know WHY you can't see it from google earth or
zillow. I digress, I have the farm, and everything that I own is the
best there is. I have a Dr. Dr. Dr. wife and I graduated Yale. I'm also
a very accomplished photographer. Did you ever see the pictures of the
owls I took in my back yard? Some ******* stole them and posted them on
his photography website complete with a copyright.
