Life imitating "The Office"

Police: Driver follows GPS off bridge ramp Excerpt:

Police say a driver apparently was following GPS navigation when he drove off the ramp to a demolished bridge that had been closed since 2009, killing his wife. The Times of Munster reports 51-year-old Zohra Hussain of Chicago died of burns after the car caught fire following the 37-foot plunge Saturday morning onto property owned by BP. Her 64-year-old husband, Iftikhar Hussain, survived. Lake County Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Patricia Van Til says the road is marked with numerous barricades including orange barrels and cones, large wood signs stating ROAD CLOSED with orange striped markings and concrete barricades across the road. Construction of a new bridge over the Indiana Harbor and Ship Canal is scheduled to begin this spring

Trying out the Garmin nüvi 660



Garmin nüvi 660

This was my birthday present last week. We tried it on on Saturday with a trip to Rockford. Works slick - directed us across Hwy 55 from Plymouth. Coming back we launched out across Hwy 50 E and watched it (we have a bean bag mount) direct us one way or another. Sunday I preached at Rockford Baptist. After the Sunday evening service we had to drive to Maple Grove. I drove up the West side of the Crow River and let the Garmin direct us to my Brother's house.
