I enjoyed the Dave Barry column. I bought my husband a GPS for Christmas and it reminded me of him quite a bit. Between he and my son, they have so far used the GPS to:

* park the car in the garage in the exact same spot it was removed from

* plot out our property lines, even though there are survey stakes all over the place

* from the backseat of the car, tell us exactly how fast we're traveling

* backtrack to the marina the same course we left the marina on in our boat. If the Coast Guard had been around, we would have been boarded for sure.

Don't know how we ever got along without it.
