Yes, so?





You've gotta be kidding me that you're criticizing me on this. Lighten up
Bill.





I was talking about Sterling's comment! (if I build a house in a strewn
field do you not deride me when it rains down on me?)

The story in specific isn't funny, but after the Kim's story from Oregon and
these various desert stories, WHO trusts their GPS? There is a certain
amount of common sense, some basic instinct and SOME MORE COMMON sense that
needs to be used instead of relying on devices that aren't understood.

If you don't know how stuff works (or you don't respect a name like Death
Valley!), then STAY HOME! Don't expect me to feel sorry for you.
