A good GPS and maybe some good printed maps       would be a good idea! A GPS navigator is simply map software whose marked       coordinates reference GPS satellite signals to show those parts of the map       that match...and a printed map can do the same thing if you don't mind       actively navigating while trying to stay focused on the road. Or you can       have live navigator come along. I used to do that when I was in a touring       band and we always got directly to where we were going.              > Point of the trip was to visit my dad.

But I did have some today.              > No point sleeping when I'm on a trip :-)              Not if you're driving anyway ;)       But that wouldn't matter with me, because I simply can't sleep in a moving       vehicle, I can hardly sleep in one that's stopped but the engine is       running, and only slightly when it's stopped and the engine is off.              > I stayed up late working on a song.              That's definitely time well spent!              > Sorry.

Yep, you can call me paranoid, and you'd be right.              Jim              That's just being safe.       There are actually Idiots on 'social' read Stupid sites, like Facebook,       Twitter, etc., who just have to tell the world exactly what they look like,       where they live, what they own, all with pictures to show everything, then       they announce whatever they're doing, including where they're going, and       therefore when they won't be home...and the Fools sometimes get burglarized.              Ouisie              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
