With elections rapidly approaching this fall, the bashing advertisements and political stickers are beginning to pop up everywhere. I wish that for once, a candidate would focus on telling me about themselves other than about what their opponent has done wrong. Duh, like I can’t figure that out on my own. What I’m interested in hearing about is what they want to change in the world. Stop bashing each other, we’re not in high school anymore. Come to think of it, it is more like elementary school.

My neighborhood seems to be an even mix of Democrats and Republicans. I know this because they all seem to have their front yards decorated with political signs. When a new one appears, a neighbor has to also get another new one. It makes it easy for me to find my house since mine is the only yard that doesn’t have any signs in it. One of my neighbors, who has quite a reputation as being a political guru has decided that decorating his brand new car with political stickers was a great idea. Why someone thinks that having political stickers all over their cars will influence my vote is beyond me. Political stickers do nothing but annoy me. But hey - if you want to peel those annoying political stickers off of your car after the election is over, be my guest.

I’m still getting a kick out of seeing political stickers from the last presidential election remaining all over cars. Especially those who clearly lost the elections. But, that’s their problem, not mine. I have to ask all of the politicians out there, why even have political stickers made? I suppose that I understand the signs for people’s yards and the flyers that are passed out. I even have a bit of respect for the commercials that are shown on television, though I suggest you stop bashing one another and start focusing on yourself. What I just don’t understand is why you spend your campaign money on printing political stickers.

Obviously, there are people out there who are ridiculous enough to put them all over their vehicles but seeing someone with political stickers all over their bumpers isn’t going to sway my vote. I realize that you simply want your name out there and to have it continued to be fresh in the minds of your voters, but enough is enough. Instead, focus on something else. Do more in the community to get your name out there. Don’t rely on such petty and annoying things like political stickers. For someone like me, tell me why I should vote for you. Don’t make me stare at any more political stickers.

Do you have any cue where you’re going? Why don’t you just turn around and head back to that gas station we passed about a half of a mile back? That way you can ask for directions and then we won’t be lost anymore. I don’t turn around, and besides I know exactly where we are. Have you ever heard this routine before? Oh come on, you had to have heard it as a child. It’s the classic mother and father in the front seat of the family vehicle. The father is driving, while the mother struggles with a torn map. I can honestly say that I have no idea why men don’t like to stop and acquire valid directions. It’s a vice that’s eternal in the XY makeup. Oh well. Anyway, things are not exactly the same anymore when it comes to finding your destination. In fact, we all have access to auto navigation systems. These babies are the bomb! I don’t care where you’re headed.

Have you taken a gander at the new age auto navigation systems? I had to have one of these. My older brother got me completely hooked when he brought his over to my place to check out. I was amazed at how accurate they are. You don’t even have to stare at the thing for directions. It talks to you. Heck, quality auto navigation systems even let you know when you’re off route. The first time I took advantage of one was on a long trip from Salem, Oregon to Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Let me tell you right now, that is one seriously long trip. Although you may think it’s a blast, it can get rather hairy to say the least if you’re traveling with your family.

Regardless, auto navigation systems will make the journey much more enjoyable. You basically just program your destination in the device and it takes over. Once it has your address, it will use it’s antenna to pinpoint your current location. Then it will begin routing. Simply mount the auto navigation system in your vehicle and take off. It literally tells you where to go every step of the way. How awesome is that! You will never get lost again. So far my wife and I have used auto navigation systems on a number of occasions. They’re not just for traveling a long distance you know. Take advantage of auto navigation systems whenever you please. It will save you oodles of time, effort and frustration.
