Meet Jill

 

Ted, Sr., got a Garmin GPS unit for Christmas. Her default voice setting is Jill: female, American English. Today we took her out for a spin.

Our first stop was to the Greenhouse, which is run by the Men’s Garden Club of Asheville. It was someplace familiar, and we put Jill to the test to determine whether she could keep up with Ted.

The greenhouses are in a flood plain area, so utility meters are accessible from an elevated platform above the greenhouse roof-line.

Jill sounded so disappointed when Ted deviated from her planned route (which was often). After a while, we think she gave up by saying “A better route is available…”

Poor Jill. She never had a chance.
