I was to meet a friend at a VW dealership in San Antonio, in order to 
drive him home after he dropped off his bug for service.  We left 
Kerville at about the same time in the morning but he arrived at the 
dealership more than half an hour later than I did.  Turned out that 
he'd followed his GPS's advice which routed him away from the freeways 
and through city streets as soon as he got to San Antonio. The thing is, 
he knew the direct route but followed the GPS's advice because he 
"thought it might know a shortcut."  Go figure......
