Lost in Space, er, I mean,Texas


One of my favorite movies of all time–I don’t know why–is Lost in Space. I keep hoping they’ll make a sequel or three, but it’s unlikely. Makes me wish that movies were made for the Long Tail–hmm, would Sanctuary be an example of this?–rather than the masses of folks who watch them in movie theatres!


Unfortunately, I found myself lost in Texas this past week as I journeyed to Mesquite, Tx.

  1. Hey Miguel! Happy birthday! You will LOVE the 650. It’s nearly identical to the 660 and a LOT less money. The display is huge and bright and it’s been the best performing GPS I’ve ever owned. Look at that “You Saved” number – $550?!?! Wow. Talk about a discount from the original retail price. Happy to help – use it well!

  3. Good point, Kevin! I need to focus on what I'm SAVING rather than what I'm spending! 8->Anyways, I'm thrilled at the possibilities and can see myself never getting lost again. HA! When will we get sophisticated enough to get to borg tech? Implant that GPS right here…BTW, can't others track me with this device once I get it?;->
