Bonnie has a sister, and this force guides even the most novice apprentice through the maze of Zurich. Meet Ovi-wan-can-go-be, the powerful GPS on Tom's new cell phone.
Ovi guided me to the Zurich DMV where I was finally able to take possession of our new car!
We are now the proud owners of a BMW 330xi, a zippy little station wagon. All the soccer frau's have one. Our first mission: pick up a used tumbler south of Zurich. Ovi guided me faithfully once, but this was more difficult. "Patience, use the force, think" he said, and we found our way and now have our very own tumbler. No more crunchy socks, no more wet unmentionables. The best part? We only paid $100, as apposed to the $2700 quote from the rental management company, or $1500 from the local electronics store. Feel the force Tom, install the tumbler...
All was well, with towels happily being fluffed, when the Frau decided it was time to do some vacumning. Oops, blew a fuse, guess a hundred year old house was not built for this amount of current. Off I go into the basement. Crap.
Ceramic circuits, all in German, never seen such a beast before. Then a great Jedi Master reminded me "do or do not, there is no try." I slayed the beast, completed the mission, fixed the fuse, and lived to tell the tale.
Who's your Jedi Master now?
It helps to know that Nokia's version of a GPS is called "OVI" Maps.
