Damn it, my iPad just conked out. It froze on the Stanza page and nothing I tried helped. It wouldn't charge either. This of course had to happen a week before my trip. I only bought the damned thing to read ebooks, but now all my ebooks are gone.

 I'm all for technology, but I knew there was a reason I was reluctant to use the GPS in my car. What if, at night, it leads me off a cliff.

It almost happened.
