Really? To our current place?

Actually, we had problematic directions the first time we went to your place as well. But our directions came from CP.

Actually, not surprising.

I love using internet maps. I tend to ignore directions, because I can seriously glance at a map and memorize it and make my own route. I've been 99% successful with that tactic so far. For last-minute destinations or remote places, I'll use my GPS in the car.

The one time I had a problem with internet directions was when we drove from Switzerland to Paris, and it played like a comedy routine. I printed out our directions from Google Earth, and I swear we followed them to the letter. Nonetheless, we got lost in the hills and went twenty miles out of our way until we were dumped into a little town . . .right in front of a map store.

You're late, he said.

Curious. Do you recall where it sent you?

If I recall correctly, it had us turn RIGHT on Flower. But it has been so long, I don't remember much beyond that.

I wonder if it was just confusion over the fact that Flower turns left, then back right, while Palmyra turns left then turns into Flower at the intersection of Flower, Flower, and Palmyra. Whoever decided on the street naming in that area was clearly intoxicated.

I believe Snowflake and I had the same issue. I know it had you go the wrong direction but we soon figured it out.

I just want the yellow pages people to quit calling my office literally 8-10 times a day and I have no idea the country of origin, but I honestly can barely understand them. And if I keep hanging up on you that means I really don't want to talk to you.

That we did, for Erica's fabulous farewell bash.
