I am not adverse to using electronic GPS systems : my Android 'phone has that feature and has been useful a couple times in our meanderings.Relucent Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12414827898661535555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31814332.post-41810488255730463952013-03-20T01:59:31.755-07:002013-03-20T01:59:31.755-07:00I had a Tom Tom which was a present from brother R...I had a Tom Tom which was a present from brother RR thanking me for a DIY project I undertook at his house. I was enchanted by the voice of the female instructress, but eventually the battery failed. I bought a Garmin, and have not taken to the female behind the scenes there; my daughter borrowed it and returned it with the voice switched to the male alternative. I am waiting for the battery to fail on this unit so I can justify purchasing another Tom Tom.Sir Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908756392825206914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31814332.post-58706686611239337022013-03-17T17:28:25.468-07:002013-03-17T17:28:25.468-07:00Thank you for your comment.

There is enough room in the blogosphere for the two of us.<br />Enjoying your film series: really like the name "Flicks in the Sticks".<br />So far, the only one I have seen that you mentioned was "Amarcord". Got to see that in my home town theater, The Cameo, before it was bought by a chain and turned into a two holer. I remember that vivid scene of the peacock in snow....Relucent Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12414827898661535555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31814332.post-21313882014923645722013-03-08T23:54:46.979-08:002013-03-08T23:54:46.979-08:00Back in the style I've always admired:
"...Back in the style I've always admired:<br /><br />"... purporting to serve home-style cookin'. Swill."<br /><br />Proof you don't need to mount a donkey and wander - spouting Keats - along the Grand Canyon to gather the raw material for a good post. Not if you can instead mount the big philosophical questions: "Sliding further down the scale: combos and reality t.v. Is this what the road does?"<br /><br />The answer's yes, by the way.<br /><br />And because unremitting gloom from the writer can induce unremitting gloom in the reader a sort of upbeat ending, but with a sting in the tail.<br /><br />Keep on truckin' (the missing apostrophe is obligatory) RR. You will by the way notice I have given up all attempt at hiding my identity and that my blogonym, reduced to initials, is the same as yours. A left-handed compliment if you like.Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.com
