The freeway was a mess. A mess, I tell you. An accident closing the fast lane and the carpool lane completely jammed all lanes. I dropped off onto an off ramp and turned left onto what looked like a major street but wasn't. Two blocks on, the street ended. I'm sure Batty remembers only too well how major streets around here are interrupted by water corridors, the cement lined riverbed and its tributaries.

I was in need of good, efficient, directions to get to my class on time. I really couldn't afford to wander in the wilderness until I found a through street

In a flash of inspiration, I asked Siri for directions. She was a great help, giving me turn by turn verbal instructions. It was so much fun to use, I kept her in action, even when I knew where I was, and could have navigated the rest of the way on my own.

I love the new technology!
