Driving Into the 21st Century

Before heading out to fish yesterday, a small package arrived via UPS -- from AMEX Rewards.  I ordered it Sunday and, at that time, I was informed to allow 14 days for the delivery.  Too bad USPS doesn't deliver in such a timely fashion -- they could surely take a lesson from UPS (but, maybe they are protected by the Dodd Frank bill -- too big to fail).

Anyway, I now have a co-pilot (a TomTom) and I can even have "Homer Simpson's" voice tell me where to go (that should make it easier for me to blame it on him if I make a bad turn from now on).  First, this dummy has to get some practice using it in the Jeep -- now, where shall I go (maybe Sawgrass)?  Or to the driving range somewhere nearby??  Hmmmm.  Maybe I can even drive at night too with this thing.

At least this saves me from advertising and interviewing applicants for the co-pilots position (and Tiger hasn't stepped up to take that seat -- at least when the diesel engine is running).  Other times he takes that seat after I have warmed it up and after I get up and turn my back.
