DRIPPING SPRINGS, Texas<\/strong> — I won’t spend a lot of time with this post, but here goes …<\/p>\n

My normally reliable GPS, upon which I depend to blunder my way from point to point, let me down today as my son and I drove from North Texas to my brother-in-law’s home in Hays County.<\/p>\n

No need to regale you with where it guided me. Suffice to say that I ended up in downtown Austin after getting caught in traffic. OK, so some of it was my fault; I could have positioned myself to be in the correct lane. Except that the GPS took me a way to my bro-in-law’s place with which I was unfamiliar.<\/p>\n

The system does that to me on occasion. I guess it assesses current traffic conditions and then adjusts my route accordingly.<\/p>\n

It just didn’t work this time.<\/p>\n

But … we arrived and we’ll get caught up for the next day or so before we head for the house.<\/p>\n

I think I will simply rely on the route I know well.<\/p>\n\n
