GPS Rescue

I have always been, shall we say, directionally challenged. I still require directions to a place after having been there multiple times. My father used to try to reoirient me to the world by stating matter-of-factly, "You see, the sun rises in the east. It sets in the west", as if that should solve everything. Some people seem to operate with an inner compass. Well, on my recent road trip to Kentucky, solo with our three kids, I discovered my inner compass: our new GPS.
It attaches to my car windshield and instantly provides the reassurance that I am headed in the right direction (provided I have entered my destination correctly), and steers me back on the path each time I deviate from it. It also shows the speed limit, next to the speed I am going. But my favorite feature is that it has an ongoing tally of "how long til we get there" so I am ready for an answer to that plaguing question without a moments' thought. Long live the GPS!
