Oscar Friedman’s Freakish Occurrence
This story was partly inspired by a trip to Tampa (on the west coast) from where I live on the east coast of Florida. It was rather an hellacious trip and one I will never make again. The GPS took me all over creation, down the wrong roads, back tracking on myself through the less savory parts of town, and took me places I hope never to go again. Each time I made a turn that I knew was right, it got snarky with me.
This was also inspired by a trip I made to North Carolina for a book signing. My good buddy, Norm Brown, and I shared some of Oscar’s frustration with the GPS as well.
Ha! That makes me feel better. My GPS was telling me to take a right – right off of a bridge! Then down some dirt road that was nowhere near home…I am now off to read your story. I love the cover picture. It’s quite intriguing.
Thank you! My GPS sent me to a part of town that scared the bejesus out of me! I came across a house surrounded by cop cars and had to go the wrong way down a 1 way street to get back where I needed to be.
Absolutely horrible! I am quite enjoying your story as well. I am holding my sides in because I am laughing so much. Thank you for the smiles and laughter today 🙂
You’re so welcome. I’m glad you’re enjoying it. I had a lot of fun writing it.
