Hi Mike, I got my GPS with PK today, unexpectedly early, so I'm going to
check it out tonight and try it out tomorrow. There are no sidewalks here
with busy streets and lots of snow, so its maiden voyage might be kind of
short, but I'm very excited.
Oh, come on, Mike, Bob Dillan said that we could have our cake and eat it
too 30 years ago. But I guess he didn't mean GPS. (smile).
Anyway, thanks for the quick service.
Rosemary
