It's nice to see that in 60 days I have been able to positively impact the lexicon with the SWMBO tag. I thought it might be a little early to introduce the MNEF identifier,

Too late to edit that one, should have read.... I thought it might be a little early to introduce the MNEW identifier,

I saw this on another thread and thought it was a good idea especially when things get a little dicey on crowded roads. Letting other drivers know your intentions better. An easier to see turn signal light. I only put one on the passenger side as I can see my side just fine.

Personally I don't rely on anything for sure except the road signs.
However, keeping that in mind, I use 3 devices when travelling (Mark driving and me as the navigator). Basically I use the truck app. In a pinch when I'm looking for a town with a post office, I'll use my phone to find "where is the nearest post office". Then, I also use my laptop computer. It's easier to "flip through the page" by zooming in an out of where I am so I can see the possible route changes.
The program I use is Microsoft Streets & Trips. They don't support the program anymore, but I have Windows 10 and it runs like a charm. It's saved my (or should I say HIS) behind more than a few times.
I see it on eBay, but I can't imagine WHY they are selling it so expensive. I got mine for around $70 back in 2013

GPS units are good and some very good but always nice to have a map as a backup. In fact every time we enter a "new" state we stop at the first information center for a state map.

I've done this for years in a car. Love paper maps. Private pilot for years and regardless of all the electronics in my plane I trust my paper charts and maps the most whether VFR or IFR.

My Dad was a Sales Manager with Gulf Oil for 33 years and we always had Gulf Oil logo maps in the glove compartment. On long trips he would hand me a map and let me navigate. He knew where to go, the map was just to focus my attention on something besides asking non stop questions.

By age 6 I could properly fold the map and by 8 I could tell him which town was next. I think that's how I got interested in RVing. It's sure the best way to see what's around the next curve or over the next hill.

I used to carry 2 potted geraniums to decorate our sites. Should've known better as I could not keep the deer away from them at my S&B. About 6 years ago, I started "planting" silk geraniums at home. The trick is to cut them apart from their bush state & plant them as you would real ones. When the flowers fade from sun exposure, the leaves are usually still good - keep the leaf stems to use over & over. No more deer problems. Now I have 2 silks I take in the coach. HONEST, if done right (real dirt/peat moss in the pots, mixing full blooms with budding blooms...etc.), you cannot tell the difference. I'll get 2-3 seasons out of them. They have been "nibbled" on, but they are quickly spit out.

There is great need for a sarcasm font.
