Reality Check by Dave Whamond for October 16, 2023

Don’t worry about it bright eyes.

I think that happened here this last Saturday morning.

Maybe the GPS is voices by Bonnie Tyler.

Goof-up Persistently System eh.

M’eh! … where’s Rory Dodd?!

1983, “Total Eclipse of the Heart”, Bonnie Tyler. Maybe she’s listening to the ’80s station instead of her GPS.

Must have selected the POI for a total eclipse (of the heart).

A number of years ago a group chartered a bus to travel to an event. I sat up towards the front and was entertained by the driver’s gps constantly announcing “recalculating”. I’m still amazed we got there. At one point we went through the tent camping area of a state park. Let’s just say the roads there are not designed for a large motor coach.

My 80’s GM models fell apart more frequently than every now and then.

Might have something to do with the ‘total eclipse’

My GPS said to “turn around” but then I couldn’t see the road at all. Everything looked familiar that I had just passed however.

Only a partial eclipse of the heart last weekend at my place.

Not sure how many will get this one…definitely ’80s! :)

Just when it’s needed more than ever

GPS wasn’t available to the public yet-it was military and didn’t start making it to aircraft navigation until the 90’s.

I just either follow a map or my nose…..

HA! Thanks for the earworm!

Use yer phone & download the WAZE app …!

( much cheaper than mechanics these days )

I think it’s a powder keg, it’s been giving off sparks.

Does it call you Bright Eyes all the time? Maybe you should make it a Meatloaf.

Very fuzzy scrambled data then (’80s) and until 2K when peanut Jimmy and Billy cleared things up. Even now, track results on bike and hike trails are hilarious. Could be the maps. I wonder how aircraft carrier GPS landings are coming along … GPS IFR landings in the middle of the ocean would take way more hutzpah the I have.

Does she have bright eyes?

Squirrel’s looking up at “it” as if he’s trying to figure out what “it” is…
