a new friend for Ken (the car)

yesterday morning ~ insert curse words

yesterday afternoon ~ insert smug smile

I have my own high tech fix-or-install routine: block off the morning, make as many
stupid mistakes as I want, swear a lot and wonder why did they stop including
real honest-to-God manuals with products? So now I have learned to use the
internet and to waste tons of ink printing information out that I won't ever need
again. But it's done ~ a handy new GPS that took us over to Green Apple yesterday
afternoon. On the way home she tried to get us to take the 101 Freeway from
Octavia, but I disobeyed her, and will again until Ms. Garmin learns my preferences.

Now that I have more free time, I hope we can get out and about more for some
day trippin'. The problem is/was that we would get lost and sometimes Husbando
is very sure he is right and we all know that I usually am, so now I have some
technical back-up when we are in new situations. I will admit that I sometimes
still get lost in my very own city, I hope the GPS solves that too.
