I have two friends with Garmins who claim not to be able
to adjust the settings to change them from "shortest."

One of them was tootling around with me once, and the
device, to my amusement/chagrin, told us to turn into
a certain obscure lane (instead of the time-honored
normal route), so we did and shortly found ourselves
in a private compound of some kind, from which we
escaped via a set of ever-narrowing and less-paved
pathways. Took 10 minutes to go what would have taken
2 or 3 using the public roads.

The one in Boston used to be considered a great date place,
because it was at the top of the Pru, then the tallest
building in New England, but the food if not plastic-wrapped
was identical to what you got at the supermarket in that
condition.

As I think we've discussed, I've not met a turkey sausage I
thought worth the paper it was printed on, though most turkey
ham is pretty palatable.

I think they called it mortadella.
