Bloom County by Berkeley Breathed for May 23, 2020

And they know they’re humped when the roadsign says “Bienvenue au Quebec!”

Love my GPS!!

Zen navigation- we’ll get there when we get there.

It always paid to be a member of AAA back in the day. Nice maps, triptiks and also tourbooks for the states you were driving through and pretty good road service to boot!

It must have been a man driving. Opus would have used a map.

My sister-in-law argues with her GPS and insists she knows a better route. Usually involves wrong way on one way streets or traffic jammed secondary roads.

It is a common rule you’ll only get to CA by going left in a comic strip. No wonder they’re going in circles.

Back in the 80s I was driving across country, I was going thru the Appalachians in Tennessee and ran into a detour. I drove about an hour or two without running into any signs to redirect me along a detour route. I pulled out my road atlas and could not for the life of me figure out where I was. Turns out I was in Kentucky.

GPS is great but I still love using maps to plan a trip. Sometimes you spot attractions you might have missed. Used to navigate our road trips for Dad and it was the only time I could tell him where to go.

That’s my kind of road trip!

“Toto, I think we’re still in Kansas.”

Kansas → Colorado → Arizona is a reasonable westward course of action depending upon what part of the US they’re coming from.

And so they wandered for all eternity, giving rise to the Legend of Bloom County: it’s wherever you want it to be….
