Good morning Mike and List,
I understand your not wanting to show them a shorter route, biting the
tongue works well most of the time except when interfering with sutures.
I think it's never too late to teach an old dog, escort, a new trick simply
because they may not know and will remember it for the next time they escort
somebody.
Have a good Sunday, March 14, 2010

Upon my arrival here in Vancouver for the Paralympics, and as a
member of the Presidential de ligation, a few of us went out to
dinner with the U.S. Ambassador to Canada, the Honorable, David
Jacobson. We chose a restaurant in the vicinity of our hotel and
headed off in an official vehicle, lights flashing.
The driver and security guy were discussing which one-way streets
went which way and how to best reach the restaurant. I quickly pulled
it up on my GPS, set a route and compared what I was seeing on the
Braille display with what they were saying. I casually mentioned that
I had a GPS but not more.
When my GPS told us to turn, I said nothing. After all, I was a
passenger and they were the escort. It was really hard to bite my
tongue when we were clearly taking a long way around. It wasn't that
much out of the way so no harm done.
Given the circumstances, I think not saying anything was the most
diplomatic thing to do but the child in me wanted to speak up.
