gps

thanks goodness for GPS system. If without one, Boston is one of the
cities I would refuse to drive! I drove in South Africa, I drove in
lots of different cities, this place is just chaotic with no ends.
Streets cris-cross everywhere. No straight line or anything to get a
feel of sense of direction. North, South, East, West, I just don't
know without a compass. Street signs, highway signs, any signs are
always playing hide and seek behind tree branches or shrubs in far
flung places. Signs are totally irrelevant as what they say do not
represent what it should be. Lanes? There are no lines on the road.
3 lanes here? Or is it one lane and a half? And who designed the fre*^
$^king highways and freeways? Obviously not the gang that put people
in space! Otherwise, God helps us all. The exits and directions, all
over the map. Merging and exits were located at places that shouldn't
have been. From Braintree back up to Boston, I had to cut over 4
lanes in less than 3 seconds in order to enter the correct entrance
going North. And people drive like idiots with cellphones.

So far this week, I pretty much just plugged in the address I wanted
and went. Let the GPS guided me. I felt like a "ground" pilot
entering all the coordinates before "taking off".
