    Yeah, I tried GPS once, ask Garmin how he fared....He's in a landfill in Kersey PA I think... Going in the landfill he kept saying turn around at next legal spot. He just wouldn't shut up!

    Hey dere, 'Gros Jaimie', my French was taken from google translator. Its a great tool but I fear it probably mangles the translations. Though I am Canadian by birth I didn't really pick up much
    french. Coincidently, last night at a victory rally in Montreal, there was a shooting by some nut as the newly elected Premier was giving her speech! I saw video of her being hustled off the stage by security. The only time I ever hear news out of Canada is when it's bad news...

    I call mine my girlfriend. Like a typical woman she gets upset when I don't go her way. She's got a snobby British accent.

    My GPS is only used as a quick map, come up on a traffic jam instead of distracting myself by reaching behind the seat for the paper map, all I have to do it tap the screen a few times.

    So is trying to learn french in Quebec.

    I drove the first time through that town without a gps.

    The next time, it was with the gps. It was much easier.
