> pc<<<< I am speechless and humbled. I bow to that ability. I am missing the Map Reading center of my brain (but if "nowhere" is indeed an option, then faking it on my shift should work ok). Whenever a driver shoves a map in my hands and DEMANDS that I get over it and just DO it ("NOW NOW NOW!!! DO I GET OFF HERE OR NOT??!!"), I am truly helpless. I don't LIKKKKE looking like the helpless female!!! But here, I am truly.... helpless.
How about those people who can get off a plane in strange city, get into the rental car and roughly know where they're going based on where the sun is or something like that??? I don't GET IT!!! But here's something redeeming -- I am NEVER afraid when I get lost. Always confident I'll find my way out of it, against all odds. But then, I've never been lost in the woods or the mountains. That would probably disturb me more than a little bit, on foot anyway... Can you guide us in those places too, using solar cues or crystals or whatever?
