[nagdu] blazing trails with tails.

[d m gina]

Hi there,
I will be the first to admit I panic when I get lost,
this is why I enjoy the gps.
Then I can know what to do quickly when I know the street I am on.
Where we live is all street signs, no lights.
This is a problem for me.
Especially on the two busy streets going west.
We live in the area of town that you are either on the north or south 
side of the street.
then if you go to far you have way to many busy streets to work with.
Even sighted persons will say don't cross it.
We have to go by car all of the time.
Folks are saying some one got smart they thought causing folks to have 
a buss stopp after five PM where they have to figure out a new way to get home.
this is silly.
As well as going to work
I remember when I came up to Montana I got lost in our area.
I called my husband asking him if he could find me.
He wanted to know what street I was on.
My reply was, if I knew that I wouldn't be lost.
he did find me.
I have never crossed fifth street west from our street, this is a main 
street where I hold my breath that kids won't be hit.
Folks run across this street.
We get out there, where for the most part we have to take a car.
Montana is car driven.
Glad for those who can get lost and stay calm.
