In reply to Blakes Takes. That's neat. I can see that being featured as a benefit in advertisements about renting at Hertz lol

In reply to Dima. Yes, you are right. I will never fall for this for a drink coupon or amenity kit type prizes:-)

I remember trying to Use the NeverLost a couple of years ago – it was probably the most frustrating experience of my life and we dubbed it “NeverWorks”. Glad to see it is improving.

Hey, did you know that Hertz NeverLost GPS has a feature where one can search and navigate to the nearest CVS with like 2 touches of the screen? And then to the next one…and the next…and the next….then wash, rinse, repeat the enxt day? I am in heaven… 🙂

The reason there are a ton of stupid “leave a comment to enter” giveaway is the same as for the stupid “enter 1 in comment below and see what happens” or “today is blah, what do you think about blahblah” posts on Facebook – the “engagement” score. FB has its own algorithms to determine how popular your post (and page) is and how often it should stick it into the news feed. Advertisers are looking for comments on any given blog. Unfortunately, it encourages quantity rather than quality, hence the bombardment of this stuff from everywhere. Can’t really blame the bloggers either – they are not coming up with these silly rules.

That wave was probably photographed in or around Nazaré, Portugal. I have been there and it is stunning…the offshore topography underwater focuses the wave action there like almost no where else on Earth. Even in the “low” season, it is stunning. 😉
