    Man's GPS Led Him To Drive into Lehigh River Sunday In Easton, PA


    I had a similar incident befall upon me over the weekend when my GPS routed me down a rough camp trail, but you would think (dare I say) common sense would prevail prior to this guy driving into the Lehigh River. It's only 1/4 mile wide through Easton.

    Man, PA roads are so questionable; GPS takes you some strange places.  I've found myself on crazy cow paths through farmland when taking detours.

    Oil and chip is the worst surface you can legitimately call "paved" and get away with.  It's most of what we have around me.
    Intelligence is knowing that a tomato is a fruit; wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.

    I like Oliva and Quesada (including Regius) a lot.  I will smoke anything, though.

    Yeah I despise those "fresh tar" roads.

    Failed to mention I popped a brand new tire and never caught back up with the steam train I was chasing. I'll have to wait another year for them to run that route again before I can make a dvd.

    Google Maps likes to route me through some sketchy neighborhoods in LA when the freeways back up.  I used to take the back roads a lot back when I had a Garmin USB GPS and mapping software on a laptop in the desert between Palmdale and Lancaster in CA, had to turn around a lot when the roads petered out, but it was fun. Now people in neighborhoods are complaining when they can't back out of their driveways because all the commuters are going down their streets during rush hours.

    I do enjoy the exploration but it was a hella lot easier back when I had the jeep. Pontiacs don't like off roading.

    My first GPS was literally what you had. I remember those days. It was fun as heck to use but you really needed a co-pilot. 

    Oh well...sucks to be them, eh?

    NYT Reporter Asks Sanders Which Part of Hillary’s Book Wasn’t Accurate – Regrets It Immediately

    I use a GPZ -- Global Positioning Ziplock. Print general directions bold on a paper, put the paper in a ziplock, tape the ziplock to my motorcycle tank. Why a GPZ and not a GPS? Because every single time we followed a motorcyclist with a GPS, we wound up on a dirt road. Like this gem: 



    That's about a 40 degree uphill leading nowhere. At the top, my clutch cable broke. Long and hilarious story... tell you some day.

    It's not just PA. The above was in North Carolina. National Parks has advised people not to use GPS out west, too, after that old lady and her hubby got thoroughly lost, where was it, Arizona? He perished trying to hike for help. She wandered out several days later starved and frost bit. 

    Happens all the time.

    Some GPS don't have a truck setting for it and in a 30,000 lb truck, if it wants to send you down a road marked "No Trucks", it's a pain to get turned around.
    I now check to see if a stereo or GPS has the truck settings before I buy them.

    Clinton: There's a 'game that’s being played to keep women in their place'

    She thinks it's a sexist thing, keeping her out of the white house.
    She doesn't realize, it isn't about her being a woman, it's about no one wanting HER as president.

    She's what's wrong with this nation. It's never the person, it's always because of what they are. Such BS.
    Nobody takes responsibility for them being the mistake, not what they are.

    I would love to have a woman president, just not her.

    Equifax actually had a security software update that would have made the hack impossible, it was not used and they had it for a long time.

    All my CC statements are coming in early.

    If your stuff got stolen, hope you are on that list to sue them because that info right there lets you know they will lose.
