MapQuest and TomTom team up to create a WinWin.

MapQuest's maps will now be powered by TomTom.

What we find unusual is that when you go to TomTom's website and look at who they partner with you do not see the MapQuest

logo? But you do see that Google is one of many a TomTom partner. The last time we checked MapQuest and Google are staunch competitors, so how did TomTom swing such a deal? Maybe TomTom forgot to tell Google or hoped they wouldn't notice.

Anyway congratulations to MapQuest and TomTom for creating a better, improved mapping and directions system/alliance.



Don't forget vacation season is coming up, and you don't want to waste any precious vacation time being lost, and MapQuest is your go to, when you want to, go to.

It'd be a cold day in June before we ever get lost, we always know what continent, country, state, north, south, east, and west is. So how could one possibly be lost with that much pertinent information?

We however might be sidelined in achieving our desired destination, which in some terminology could be remotely construed as being lost, something we will never admit to.

That's another reason we defiantly ask for the guidance of our guru perched high atop a mountain side, that guru's name is Zen yoga Yoda master MapQuest.

We like the tall giraffe have vision from above, and while we look like the butterfly who has no directional purpose we can migrate vast distances with spot on accuracy.

What did you do if you were lost and couldn't find your way back in the old old days?

You either asked for directions, or you got out the road atlas, maps, driving directions someone gave to you, and the compass.

It's a time honoured joke, or point of annoyance that men would never go into a gas station and ask for directions.

They would drive around for hours before admitting they didn't know where they were and or lost. Actually they would never admit they were lost they would just keep driving until by chance they found their way.

A lot of folks gave up going on vacation just because of the huge huge arguments that ensued due to one spouse driving and the other one navigating.

So we would like to say thank you, thank you, thank you, MapQuest.

If you were at this marina you would definitely know which way is north south east and west.

To say this compass at this beautiful marina is all encompassing

is an understatement.

The sixth sick sheik's sixth sheep's sick.

This is the world's best tongue twister according to the Guinness book of world records.

The best tongue twister is the hardest one to pronounce with out stammering, stopping, stalling, stapling, steaming, starbucking, stooging, or stockpiling.

Some tongue twisters require a towel if the person uttering it is facing you and it contains the letter "p".

These sheep are sick or they've been playing paint ball, or they're going to a football game and are wearing their rainbow wigs.
