GPS Gizmos Can change Your Life-It Has Changed Ours!

So on Saturday we had an hour to kill before we had to go to the airport to catch our flight from Houston. There we were, in the fourth largest city in America, not wanting to waste time but also being totally unaware of what was to find. No problem, says I. I'll find something to do.

So I push the "where to" button on our GPS unit in the rental car. Then I push the "attractions" button and choose "landmarks" from the several choices. I scrolled through several bland destinations until I found one that really caught my eye: Battleship Texas!

Before Mamie knew what I was thinking I had selected "Battleship Texas" and we were obeying the soothing voice of the woman inside the GPS box as she deftly guided us to our unknown (to Mamie) destination. As it turns out, the battleship Texas was next to the San Jacinto Monument, where Texans fought their decisive victory against Mexico!

After our Texas trip, we borrow the sentiment from the Tupperware customer in Napoleon Dynamite: "I waunt that!"
