16、s andpretending to be John Wayne (film actor who played tough heroes). As I was coming into the house one afternoon, though, I tried it one time too many.

However, they can also cause a lot of problems, send you to the wrong place or leave you completely lost. Many times, the driv

44、er is to blame. Sometimes a GPS error is responsible. Most often, says Barry Brown, it is a combination of the two.Barry Brown is with the Mobile Life Centre in Stockholm, Sweden. He told us about an incident involving a friend who had flown to an airport in the eastern United States. There he borro
