My four-way cigarette lighter multiplug is no longer passing sufficient electrons to light up the LED or power anything I plug in to it.
And I didn't bring a soldering iron or screwdriver with me on this trip. That'll teach me to disregard basic packing principles.
Task for tomorrow: find a shop in Wanaka that sells cigarette lighter multiplugs. Or drive back to Queenstown (ha, not likely). Or give up and assume my GPS navigation thing (a Garmin Nuvi 260) will go flat somewhere between here and Haast.
Oh: the reason for the GPS being useful on a road with virtually no intersections -- you can see upcoming spots that have potential to overtake the person in front of you who's only doing 100kph :-)

Why does your blogging software persist in telling me that http://undegrad-rhapsody.blogspot.com is not a valid URL?
Er .. because he wrote his own and the regexp didn't include '-' ?
Surely it would not go so far as to try to load the URL and discover the missing "r"?
Hehe ... actually I can't find anything that it will accept.
Actually what it wanted was a slash after the hostname. Which I've now removed the requirement for. Well, if this post succeeds, anyway.
In fact the solution to my car power woes was to leave my iPod unplugged, as it can stand a day of Donald-driving without going flat.
Your GPS is about to go flat, yet you have enough power to send a blog post? Now that's prioritisation.
