[OSM-talk] Don't you just hate it when...

[Barry Crabtree]

or...

or... you walk around for a couple of hours tracing new routes & get back to
find your gps has logged just one point.
or... your gps batteries run out & you never noticed...
or... you're about to take a picture of a roadsign & find your kids have
filled up the memory card on your camera...
or... the satellites are in a bad mood & give you wierd traces (

or... you reformatted the memory card in your gps & forgot to switch logging
back on...
or... you are all set to go out & your gps batteries are flat...

cathartic isn't it :-)
