The Good Dr.

Remember how I posted about loving my GPS a few weeks ago? Well, I still love it. But, lately, it's been making me laugh. Ryan somewhat recently changed the personality on our GPS. Apparently, Plain Jane thinks we know the area better than we do, because she doesn't give as much information as Ryan wanted. So, Plain Jane's job was given to British Girl. Only problem is that someone didn't inform British Girl that "Dr.," in relation to street names is "Drive." Thus, British Girl will inform me to "Turn left at 55th Doctor North-East in 0.1 miles." I don't think this little quirk will ever get old to me!

That would be funny! I have only used GPS once, and it was when I was in Washington DC/Virginia, and I LOVED it! I am so jealous that you have one. Of course I don't really need one because I know my way around Utah County pretty good, but I still am jealous! :D

That is really funny! I remember my trip to England, we had a rental car with a built in GPS that would chime in only on its own terms. Modern technology makes me laugh sometimes.

Haha, poor confused GPS. There was an episode of Cruious George where there were some teams going through a tall corn maze. Each team had a different tactic for finding their way out. One team was just going to run really fast and if they made mistakes it was okay because they were running faster. One team dropped corn kernals behind them so they knew where they had been but a duck ate them. And one team had a GPS but the batteries started wearing out and it kept repeating "turn left, turn left, turn left" and then died. So this couple was turning in a circle until the GPS died. Then later they realized that it had a solar recharge option. Haha. Like my story?
