Default Be aware GPS Kit can be Stolen

....This is not really a very good idea because it leaves a telltale
sign that the vehicle has a Gps unit which could lead to a potential
break-in...

Yeah, it would be a real shame if thieves stole my Garmin 296 and I had to
use the insurance money to buy a 496. So don't tell any thieves anywhere
near Windemere Rd, Rochester NY that I have a GPS in my black Toyota
Corolla with a kayak on the roof rack, ok?

A good landing is one you walk away from. A *great* landing is one after
which you can use the plane another time.

Kayak on the roof in Rochester in November. Global warming is here!

I got a wet suit for my birthday. I went paddling weekend before last (50
degrees out) and I'm thinking about going today.

Or, to put it another way, if you see a long line of rats streaming off of
a ship, the correct assumption is *not* "gosh, I bet that's a real nice
boat now that those rats are gone". - Mike Sphar
