[nagdu] GPS was Test Walk?

[Julie J.]

Thanks Lisa!  I guess I was just concerned about trying to process too 
many streams of info...the dog, the GPS,  the environment, my constant 
stream of random thoughts...and getting myself into trouble.   I can see 
myself listening to the GPS  and missing my neighbor saying hello at the 
very least.  Or being focused on listening to the GPS and traffic and 
continuing to walk after Monty has stopped.  I haven't done that in a 
long, long time, but there's always the possibility. *smile*
