      I don't mean anything by this; it's just an observation, that's all.

“news from me: Heeding Henrietta [1]”

This reminds me of an incident that happened over a year ago [2] (obliquely
referenced as “Gregory started to drive, but wasn't feeling all that well, so
I took over for him”) dealing with a GPS (Global Positioning System) (and
Gregory and I have been over this incident many a time before, and I doubt
we'll change our respective minds on the situation) but yes, I can agree that
GPS works best if you don't slavishly follow its directions.

Then again, I can say the same thing about using computers too.
