What Does My Phone Know That I Don't?

This weekend I will be attending an organization business meeting in the Lake of the Ozarks area. I was trying to figure out what to pack, so I opened my weather app in my condo in Kirkwood, MO to find out.

For some reason my phone had a different idea of where I was standing.

Does it have old information cached, or does it really want to go back to Hawaii? (For what it's worth, this is the first time I've had the issue. And some of the locations it picked up I have no recollection of searching for. For others, the search would have been a couple of years ago.)

    Interesting-Christine cmlk79.blogspot.com. I had a problem with the online Toronto Star one year after going in online in Calgary. My access was screwed up when I returned to Toronto. It was giving me Calgary news! It seemed to correct itself eventually.

      That is interesting. Are the two papers under the same ownership?

    This fellow blogger (also named Kathy) lives in the Ozarks area of Missouri, coincidentally. Don't know if you have seen her posts. -Christine cmlk79.blogspot.com

    It's telling you to ditch the continental USA and move permanently to Hawaii. And really, wouldn't that be great!?

      It would be lovely, except for the fact that it is no closer to the grandchildren. However, they would probably be more inclined to visit Hawaii than Missouri :-)

    Sounds like the phone wants you to go back. That is a hoot.

    You weren't in St. Robert MO. for real were you? Down there being a fun bunny for the soldiers at Fort Lenard Wood?

      I have no idea how St. Robert got there! The only thing I've done is driven through it.

      I will, although it seems like our trips are always jam packed with family commitments.
