I actually was stopped by a lady who was looking for one of the little tiny
lanes which makes our village such an intriguing place in which to live. The
poor woman was nearly in tears because she had cruised up and down the entire
village looking at all the side streets of course, to no avail. I told her
exactly where the street was and as she pulled away I heard the child in the
car with her saying, "Hay mom, did you see that lady's guide dog? It was sure
curly!"
I laughed to myself and went my merry way until running into a friend, to whom
I related my experience. He had been a teacher of mine in elementary school and
he simply said, "Well, you know where every street in this village is."
Oh I had fun the other day. I called up an address where I spent 20 years of my
life from early teens until my parents moved into a retirement home. I had the
gps find me a route to a nearby restaurant which had been the corner drug store
when I lived there and I could still walk that route in my sleep but it was
tremendous fun seeing the gps's take on things.
