Nice commentary about the trip and what y...Joseph,<br /><br />Nice commentary about the trip and what you saw.<br /><br />I hope this trip helps you understand that we can’t become too reliant on technology.<br /><br />I recently spent some time in San Antonio and one afternoon I was following some friends in their car. They had the GPS and I had a AAA street map. They kept going off in strange directions when they could have done better by just looking out the window. We pulled out of parking lot to head back to the freeway when the lead car took a turn to go through some residential streets. I could clearly see the freeway three blocks from the parking lot but we drove several miles out of the way because the GPS told them to. A little later they started to make a left turn to get back on the freeway when I was ale to look out my front window and saw the stadium lights two blocks to our right. I decided to let them go on their own and after I had parked in the stadium lot and enjoyed my cool drink for about 15 minutes they finally pulled up.<br /><br />Technology may be fine but it should never supplant common sense.<br /><br />One of the best reasons for campus tours is exactly what you referenced: different people see different things.Don Gosneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17110247579694408858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9022354377530449289.post-18400310568381938352009-06-28T23:50:19.500-04:002009-06-28T23:50:19.500-04:00I think you mean Joseph, Mr Ramsey.

We know tha...Thanks Dennis for being a team player. We know that you are clear wtih your choice and I love it. Like Kiana Ward from last year you know what you want and Brown University is it.<br /><br />Glad that we had the conversation about Early Decision and we know with you that it is all about Brown. So we will keep our fingers crossed and see where it ends up.<br /><br />I had thought that maybe Harvard would have created some doubts, but I see that you are not wavering.<br /><br />Nice discussion over brunch and yes, I was happy that Dennis had our GPS system programmed correctly for the multiple trips that we took through the Boston and Cambridge community.<br /><br />Thanks again for sharing your impressions.<br /><br />Charles T.
