At least I know where there's a Chipotle, part II

When I typed the post title, and then put in the pic, it seemed so right and clean I just left it that way (below). Some of you may prefer that zen one. What post is actually about is this:

It has become one of the staples of modern, hi-tech life: using satellite
navigation tools built into your car or mobile phone to find your way from A to
B. But experts have warned that the system may be close to breakdown.
US
government officials are concerned that the quality of the Global Positioning
System (GPS) could begin
to deteriorate as early as next year, resulting in regular blackouts and
failures – or even dishing out inaccurate directions to millions of people
worldwide. - Guardian


This blows, because we just used the Garmin (sp?) to get to Wichita at Easter and it was very helpful getting to Jungle Jim's in Hamilton this last Saturday. At least I got to participate in the GPS phenomenon twice or so before The End came.
