GPS devices have landed me in the middle of a corn field before... Back when I was a technician for the company I work for, I was in eastern Tennessee with another tech, and the GPS had me going down a one lane road (not too uncommon) and the road on the GPS matched it perfectly, when I finally came to a dead end, and my GPS said I have arrived at my destination (around 10:00pm), There was just a small rundown house with one chair on the porch, an 80's model Chevy 4x4 all beat up and lifted, two rebel flags on either side of the rickety front porch, one single lit lantern with a dim glow coming from it, and we were surrounded by woods. As I was assessing the situation, trying to find a way to turn around (because this scene even scared the shookins out of me), I looked over at the black technician with me, and all I could see were his big white eyes as he said "OH LORD JESUS! GET ME THE F*CK OUT OF HERE! PLEASE!" My only option was to back my van, with no windows in it, all the way out of the winding, 3 or 4 mile single lane road.

That was some serious backwoods mountain man shiit right there... So yes, I've used a GPS, and no, I don't like them one bit.

Edit: There were windows on the front doors, but that's all.

Maybe GPS knew where you needed to go and not where you wanted to go.

BTW, why did you feel the need to mention that your passenger was black?

Because the situation got right uncomfortable for my man. I've been there. Funny enough, it was in Canada.

My apologies. I didn't know you were talking about your significant other.

LSU was the one who knew the guy, not me.

Sorry, I'm not going to give specifics.

It started with a header, wh/ through research I'm pretty sure is a school district. Then it had thorough description of the tournament format, and a link to sign up. The link had no further info.

It had contact info for an umbrella organization, but they aren't the hosts ...I confirmed that. Nor are they going to hold the tournament in their office.

That's fine, I wouldn't expect you to, I dang sure don't want some of the folks around here to know where I live as well.

Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner. LSU's encounter reminds me of a sort-of bizarro VooDoo Village.
