Monty by Jim Meddick for September 19, 2018

Now he has some wild geese to chase.

I programmed GPS to take me to a hotel I had booked on a road trip. It directs me off the interstate, then starts down some side roads – which I thought was odd because most hotels were right by interstate. I start going down a small road and then notice a group of police in tactical gear starting a raid on a house. One stops me with a flashlight then lets me go. Stop and search for hotel under Hotel menu, it shows same address I entered directly, but when I select it from there it routes me to it properly.

GPS in my car stopped working only $140 to update it, yeah. Got a regular one which is 5X better for $90 with lifetime updates. And yes, I know I can use my phone but I prefer the GPS.

Love it!

Siri- I’m sorry…

At least Monty didn’t drive into the lake.

There’s an app you can get for your smart phone that lets you know where traffic is heavy or light. Last year, in Israel, a lot of motorists followed its advice to take a route where traffic was extremely light. Turned out that they all headed to an area where the road was under water (so of course untrafficked), and the result was a massive traffic jam on all the roads leading into the area. I expect that something like that may be going on right now in the Carolinas.

I’ve been lucky I guess since I’ve only once been led astray and that was early GPS where I was looking for the college admissions office and it took me to the top of a parking garage,,,,

At least you know it has a sense of humor and maybe a bit of an attitude.

Meddick draws nice geese! :)

It’s also never a good idea to blindly follow what your GPS navigation tells you. The one I use has saved my bacon many times, but if I can plainly see that it’s wrong, then I don’t follow it.

Old Fogarty must work at your provider, and you have just been Goosed, wait until Christmas…..Re: Old Playboy joke…..

Whoever comes up GPS-Short Cuts only App will make Boo-Coo $’s!!

That would get me home, at least. A whole flock of Canada Geese roost in the field across the street from my home. (Except that I don’t use a GPS system….)
