    My GPS stopped saying “Recalculating” many updates ago. I miss it since it would signal that I may have missed a turn or something. Otherwise I could keep going on making that mistake. If people don’t like the warning, maybe the programmers could make it a configurable option.

    My GPS doesn’t say that but I sometimes take a different route and I have to put up with a lot of nagging as it tries to set back on its original planned route, for a couple km until it gives up in favor of a new route.

    A friend was driving me to an appointment. His car’s GPS said to turn right. I very quickly said “NO! GO STRAIGHT!” because I knew the direction to go. I have no idea where we would have ended up.

    It looks more like they’ll spend Five Weeks in a Balloon.

    Turn right here!

    Turn right here? Or turn RIGHT… here?

    Right!

    You missed the right, now make a u-turn and turn left!

    And that is why Phileas Fogg never took a balloon.

    See youtube Steve Lehto’s, “Couple Suing Hot Air Balloon Pilot For Flying Over Their Property.” I’ve done a lot of hot air balloon riding, but the worst was one with a famous realtor’s logo making an advertising run at treetop height on my dime. (Re/ – something.)

    Where the heck did they go to the bathroom in that round the world trip? For that matter, where did Lindbergh go to the bathroom? Hmmmm…
