Good morning, all! 

 

May your Tuesday be productive and clear rather than tosticated!

The delay this "spring" in the trees budding has created high levels of pollen. Everything is budding at the same time. It really sucks! Well, not as bad as 110" of snow sucks, but still.

I went on a 30 minute sneezing jag last night. I sneezed about 50 times.

Pollen is bad here too. Praying for more rain to wash it away.

Pollen is high every where. Lake Lanier was yellow the other day. But it has been raining since about midnight here.

I have to buy a new charger for moms iPad. This one has a short in it.

Running on about 3 hours sleep here.

Ya'll have a nice day.

The desk I was moved to does not have drawers. It's really more of a small table. So,sat night I went to Walmart and got a rubber maid tower of drawers. I'm unpacking myself right now. I'm trying to embrace where I am. And I was sick of living out of a box.

 No :( I saw some multicolored ones around Christmas that I would have loved. But they didn't have them at walmart. Our retail options are limited and I'm not a patient person. So they are white.

 I have a Garmin but DH lost the cord to update it and they put in a new toll road.  So once I get past that with NO DIRECTIONS I'll be fine.

Except you can't read a map and drive at the same time, whereas a GPS will tell you where to go.

I've done it plenty of times in the past. Usually I jot down my route: I74 to I465, exit 113, etc.

And I'll never forget the time my GF's GPS confused the EXIT ramp with the ENTRANCE ramp. Man, did I scream at her then!

Well, I'm getting ready to leave. Should take me about three and a half hours depending on traffic. If you don't see me again this afternoon I'm wandering aimlessly around some toll road.

Then you're trying to read what's written while looking for the exit. Just seems so much safer to use the GPS.

I have about the worst job there is to do on an airplane today-installing insulation blankets. Not new ones, ones that are full of thousands of passengers dead skin sediments. I'd rather be working in the lavatory!

Morning everyone. It rained a nice light rain all night & today everything is lush & green. The dogwood tree in front of my office popped open. It is overcast but beautiful here today.

My stupid GPS told me to turn down a one way street once.....the wrong way. It also told me the closest Dunkin Donuts was in NJ. I don't trust that biotch.

My GPS used to be really reliable until I dropped my phone, now it's hit or miss and I don't use it anymore.

The GPS in my new car is great. Love it.

My Garmin GPS unit? She's homicidal. Told me to make a left turn……into a lake. Three times. I hate her. I believe the feeling is mutual

 Reminds me of the episode of "The Office" when Michael drives his car into the lake because he's listening to his GPS rather than actually looking where he's going...

 I also change CD's when I'm driving.

Haven't had an accident yet...

There is a car right outside my window that must have a short in it. The f'ing alarm keeps going off every 5 minutes. I wish I had a gun.

 That might work!  Someone must have pulled the wires because it abruptly stopped!  Yay sanity returns.

 We'll have to agree to disagree then. Changing a CD is totally different than reading. You just stick the CD in and keep your eyes on the road. Reading and driving is dangerous whether you had an accident or not.

Pollen levels are high here, too. But it doesn't bother me, and the allergy shots seem to be working on the boys.

Even with GPS, I think it's important to be able to read a map to find where you need to go. I plan to teach the boys, as archaic as they might find it.

We all have the navigation thing on our phones. Moms car has it in the dash. But we each have an atlas in our cars too.

Batteries die. Things happen.

We get a new atlas about every year.

Learning to read a map isn't hard once you get the basics down. Heck, if you have basic geographic knowledge and know how the roads work, you don't really need that either.

Even numbers are East/West, odd numbers are North/South.

This applies to both interstate and state routes.

I once drove from CT to IN with directions on a 3 x 5 card...pretty basic & you stayed on the same interstates for hundreds of miles. Once I got to Ohio, I didn't need a map.

It's like relying on a calculator instead of knowing how to do math.

Having a map and being able to read it are good. Trying to read it or written directions while the car is in motion is dangerous. Not only to you but to other drivers.

 I put the card in front of me, takes 3 seconds to read it...because I keep things simple. It takes me longer than that to change a CD.
