Thursday 8th August

I had been looking forward to the Kiwani's speaker this morning, he was talking about the rail roads in Pottawatomie County, and I was interested to know what had happened to them, but he was extremely monotonous, the most monotonous speaker ever.  I tuned him out and wondered if I could find a library book about the rail roads instead.

Afterwards called at Hertz to see what time the rental car was due back, which was 5.30, so I took it to Oklahoma City for my appointment there.   The GPS behaved perfectly getting there, which was good, but it went berserk coming back.  I am speeding along, in the busiest part of Oklahoma City, in six lanes of traffic, and it pipes up "Do a U turn.   As soon as possible do a U turn"   WHAAAAAAT.    Is this a joke?   As I drive on I pick up a signpost to Fort Smith.   The most useful piece of geography I've picked up here is that Fort Smith is in Arkansas, and I know I could follow all the signposts to Fort Smith and I'd be in Shawnee before I got to Arkansas.   Which I did, and I was.  Has anyone else ever updated their GPS from the computer?    Is it difficult?

It has been extremely hot again.  The rental car had a wonderful air conditioning system, better than mine, went from hot to very cold in 5 seconds.    Now, tonight, there is a thunderstorm, and very heavy rain.
