Well here I am visiting my dad. It's been really nice. The only part that is difficult is the time difference. Miriam and I are extra tired. By the time we are used to it we will be back home.
Yesterday we went to an art gallery to pick up a Charlie Palmer painting that Dad and Dede won on (what else) e-bay. We were using VZ Navigator (verizon) which I was thinking was pretty cool. Since lately I've been printing out directions from Mapquest every other day, I was thinking maybe it might be worth having Internet on my phone to have a feature like that. But then it led us up to a ferry that was out of commission. So we drove the other way telling Navigator to recalculate route.
"Follow such-an-such road for 2.9 miles and....make the next legal u-turn"
Recalculate route.
"Make a U-turn"
Drove for a while. Turned onto another highway. Recalculate.
"Follow such-and-such road for .5 miles and...make the next legal u-turn."
It was getting rather hilarious - except-hello, Ferry isn't running today NEED NEW ROUTE. "Make the next legal u-turn."
We eventually got to a town and got directions where we were going and EVENTUALLY it quit telling us to make a u-turn. I am reconsidering using this feature.
