The Buckets by Greg Cravens for July 01, 2021

You’d have to know their destination .. And if they have enough gas to get there.

Easy. Two and a half hours from now. Like the kids are going to be able to find out.

They’ll get there when they get there.

I hope the fool was still parked when he did the calculation on his phone, though I doubt it if the car beside them is mentioned. The last thing drivers want to see is someone veering off into their lane, sadly, it IS the last thing a lot of people see. Cell phones need to have disabling technology so they won’t work if a vehicle is in motion unless it is through Bluetooth.

We were in the west end of Toronto going to the east side. The GPS said how long, then we drove onto the four-oh-parking lot and watched the time get longer as the GPS worked in actual speed to the equasion.

Yesterday, before I started out, my vehicle navigation gave a travel time of 56 minutes… but it couldn’t factor in the unknowns… construction delays and detours. The trip took an hour and eighteen minutes.

“Are they there yet? Are they there yet?”

That could be a road trip game

Try to guess where people are going and find the best route for them

Might as well, it’s gonna be wrong too.

it’s not magic, kids.
