A Word of Warning - Please Pass Along

In this day and age of technology, many vehicles either come with an in-dash GPS system. Or, if you're like me, you've bought a portable model you can take from car to car.

Recently I heard a news announcement specifically for everyone with a GPS device. If you've set your unit to HOME, change it immediately.  Should your vehicle get stolen, don't make it easy for the crooks to find your house. BTW, bet you have a garage door opener in your car, too, don't you? And the back door leading into the garage? Is it usually unlocked?

Police suggest you set the "Home" coordinates to a gas station or nearby restaurant.

In addition, if you have a portable, don't leave the connection hook visible on your dashboard. Stash it somewhere. And for goodness sake, DON'T leave your unit in the car. Keep it in the house. If you leave your hook out where people can see it, even if you've removed the unit, police say that crooks know that 90% of owners leave their units in their vehicles.

So, final word is this: DON'T set your GPS for home using your home address. DON'T leave your portable GPS hook attached to your dashboard or front windshield. And DON'T leave your portable GPS unit in your car, even if you're using it.

As my grandmother aways said, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."

Mark Twain’s 9 Tips For Living An Awesome Life

1. Approve of yourself.
“A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval.”

2. Your limitations may just be in your mind.
“Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.”

3. Lighten up and have some fun.
“Humor is mankind’s greatest blessing.”
“Against the assault of laughter nothing can stand.”

4. Let go of anger.
“Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.”

5. Release yourself from entitlement.
“Don’t go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.”

6. If you’re taking a different path, prepare for reactions.
“A person with a new idea is a crank until the idea succeeds.”

7. Keep your focus steadily on what you want.
“Drag your thoughts away from your troubles… by the ears, by the heels, or any other way you can manage it.”

8. Don’t focus so much on making yourself feel good.
“The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up.”

9. Do what you want to do.
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did so. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
