Dhe cutest news of the year we have specially saved for the last light of the year. And a particularly stupid one. The stupid is about a 44 year old truck driver. The man got stuck on a gravel road in Upper Franconia, in the Bayreuth district, because he obediently followed his GPS. The device had suggested an alleged alternative route. The recovery of the forty-tonner took four hours and the operation cost 10,000 euros.
Now to Pablo, the hero of the other message. The two-year-old hunting terrier was lost on a vacation trip in France during a stopover with the camper. For hours, mistress and master waited in vain for Pablo, for days he was gone. Until the couple’s neighbors sent a photo of the dog, which was now sitting and waiting at home in front of the house – 380 kilometers away. Mum and dad hurried home immediately and bought their Pablo a GPS collar.
If, like many of us these days, you are tired of the effort to wander through the pandemic without a clear direction, annoyed by confused greed, if you feel increasingly disoriented and remote-controlled and hardly trust leaving the house without a GPS, then think of the brave Pablo. At the turn of the year, make the resolution to just set off again. The best thing to do is to keep your mouth free.
However, it is unfair that the Pablo now has to walk around with a GPS collar and not the truck driver.
