- i always get a kick out of the adds for tire stores in the
- yellow pages where they show you how to get there and north
- is invariably pointing in some random, cock-eyed direction.
- fucks me up every time.
-
- and then living in fairborn, where the sky is always cloudy,
- and no geological landmarks to reference, and the streets going
- willy-nilly all over the place, i never seem to know which way
- is north anyhow. so the point-of-north for the tire store add
- without a compass to orient myself, is moot at least.
