Don't know if this is a confession, or a complaint, and it's not midnight. But......

Australian local governments, or at least the vast majority of them, are pathetic at providing Street Name signs at intersections, there's such a dearth of them. I don't know whether they do that intentionally because they may be a distraction to drivers, but it certainly doesn't help keep the anxiety levels down when driving in a place you aren't familiar with. Aaaaaargh 😠. Sorry, just a quick IED outburst. Chill Tony, chill 🤒

might have to change the title of my book from

If you could read my mind

to

If you could read the street sign

though I expect that traffic light people now expect drivers to all have inbuilt electronic GPS voices that tell you where you go so you dont have to read anything

what are we not getting which women and girls rule your life? No names or anything. Or are they just imaginary females.

Jesus just said to Jezebel if you carry on like that I'll kill your children dead.

Yes...what a tale of woe it would tell!

It's going to be one awfully big song novel the way it's developing. You'll need one of your beach-side pop up library vans to haul it around 😏

Yes, well, I haven't found the mapping apps always to be accurate, and if intersections run close to each other you can be passing through the one you are supposed to be turning at before you get the prompt. Anyway, this is my confession...I'm a grump and am very good at it...I've had a lot of time to perfect the art over the years 🤨

I thought the very same thing...
Then I got a Garmin...

These are incredible....much better voice prompts for turns, much better accuracy for knowing where I am, great rerouting for traffic jams and pictures for when it's a tricky intersection.

Cell phone apps work...but not as well as a dedicated device. For trips they are indispensable.

Good point. A bit expensive in Oz. Until I can afford something like that, I'll just continue to be a grump and cast disparaging remarks here and there. When you get old I think the 'being a grump' criterion is written into our job description, so it's all good 👍

Grumpy Old Men!

Yes

Behold the power!

And as soon as I work enough linament into my joints and find my boots (this can take a while) and then swallow painkillers and vitamins I'm going to find some kid to kick around....if it isn't lunchtime yet.

Be careful shittim. Judge, and we shall also be judged likewise. Only One can condemn us. Step back from this.

You have referenced the most mis-quoted verse, the very next verse tells to 'remove the beam in your own eye that you may see more clearly", we are required to discern and judge, you are too old to have missed this for this long and still have the right relationship with Him that He deserves and requires.
John DB as well has missed this.
When we stand Before Him, our Holy God, our lives are spoken for us, we will not be speaking, you both should and need to know this truth.
best wishes

And I found a new model garmin for around $100. Reconditioned, but it's been so very helpful. Just gotta update them and that takes a LOT of time. They can hook up to dash cameras and of course they connect to your cell phone.
(Everything else does)
But they aren't horribly expensive anymore if you are doing any amount of driving. More than worth it for the petrol you save.
