A GPS Tale

It is Saturday morning, and I am planning pay a visit to my friend. I start my car, and enter her address into my GPS. The GPS acquires the satellite, and it soon starts guiding me. “Huh technology! No more pages of maps required.” I murmur with admiration.

I soon hit a red light, and the GPS goes “Turn Left". 45 seconds later. "TURN LEFT"."Sorry Ms.GPS, the signal is red, I can't turn".  5 seconds later, the signal turns green and I make a left turn. "In 5 miles, turn right", the GPS blares.

After few minutes, I notice that there is only a mile more to go. "Hey! I am almost there", I mutter happily. 

"Lost satellite reception". "WHAT! Damn, where I am suppose to turn, you stupid device". Acquiring satellite 0% ... 5% ... 10% ... 50% ...  “Shucks! Why is it taking so long?!”. As I look at the screen, it goes blank (weak battery). ”What a Loose Cannon!".

I pull into a parking lot, call my husband, and get the directions. So much for the GPS!
