On Monday I went down into Missouri to look at some property I think I'll try to
move to.  I was following the directions from Google maps to get there.  Apparently
Google maps doesn't know about unmaintained tertiary roads.  Had the ground not
still been frozen I'd've been pretty well stuck a couple of times - a mile or more
from a 'real' road.  And I'd left my cell phone home...
