By Craig: Well I entered the store & there she was, beautiful, slim & vibrant looking, she would be able to tell me things I never knew, she spoke many languages and was able to be mounted on the dash or even the windscreen. Well I was beside myself so I threw a credit card at some guy managing the exit and back to camp we went. I read all I could about her and when asked I called her Karen then I played with her a little attempting to find the right button, when I got it right Karen responded, in an Aussie voice she spoke to me, Arrr! I had a new woman in my life & I spent many hours taking direction from her and loving being told the right way to go about getting there. Then as time drew on I began to realise that Karen was very bossy, and now I just tell her where to go!
By Lou: For many months we had ummed and ahhed about what sort of GPS mapping system we should purchase. We finally decided on some topographical maps download onto our laptop with a portable GPS device plugged in for use in the bush, and a cheap dash-mounted GPS unit for around cities. For the latter we had a choice of voices to give verbal instructions and Craig selected the Australian, Karen. And so now we defer to Karen to get us to the nearest information centre/campground/petrol station. I admire her patience when instead of turning left Craig turns “the other left”, she calmly instructs him to perform a U-turn when possible. No yelling. No turning the map upside down.
man alive craig, you are hilarious. keep the commentary coming, you 3; its great!
