GPS finding its way to the mainstream

CIty folk can follow directions that are understandable.: "I think it's that I grew up in the country where you learn to tell directions early in life but honestly, I am amazed how easily the city folks get their directions fouled."

Uh-huh. Maybe it's just hard for outsiders to follow direction like:
Go down the road until you come to old man Johnson's farm. When you get there, turn left and keep going until you go past where the IGA used to be. Turn right just past there. It'll be a couple of miles down on the left. If you come to the Hansen's dog lying in the road, you went too far.

Before you start griping, these are very similar to some directions I got in West Virgina.; Posted by: Letophoro Posted on: 11/16/06 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
