I remember the days when I could drive cross country using an out-of-date Rand McNally Road Atlas. Now I can’t drive to the grocery store without GPS and traffic alert ... on Sunday, with zero traffic.. Okay, not really, but the Garmin Nuvi does try to reroute me to save a couple nanoseconds on that lengthy 10 minute drive.

No wonder why I so often don’t bother to power it up.
