Advanced technology insures that I'll never miss a bargain!
I live in a small town surrounded by corn fields, cow pastures, and other small towns. We have a drugstore, a grocery store, a book store, and a library. This makes life easier for someone who can get lost on her way from the living room to the laundry room. I like to think this is because I’m so busy thinking deep thoughts that I miss all visual cues, but the fact is I have no instinct for geography.
Actually, I do have instincts, but they’re very, very bad ones. Sometimes, I try to second guess myself-when my initial instinct is to turn right, I do the opposite. This never works however, and I end up pulling up at a great sale only to see another dealer walking away with something I would have bought had I made a right instead of a left onto East Main.
My garage sale partner, Mrs. B, is only marginally better. She lives next door, so we start out without getting lost. Sometimes, we make it to the end of the street without disagreement.
All that is due to change, though, now that I am the owner of a Global Positioning System in the form of a Garmin Nuvii! I can travel anywhere in the world, with directions translated into any language, listening to Paradise Lost on the way. Satellite technology meets second-hand serving pieces right in my own car.
