Geography just sucks, IMO. Not just what's located where on a map, but I must be the most directionally challenged person of all time. It took me about 3 years to figure out where "North" and "South" were in my location, I must have 0 iron in my nose (at one point some theory was floating around that dudes have "better" directional skills as there is some iron in everyone's nose (differing amounts) and that helps with magnetic north somehow?
Yea, it sounds like a conspiracy theory to me. Except, I can't find my way out of a paper bag, while the husband and kid know where they are at all times. And, Tucson is more or less a grid city.
Don't even get me started on how I "navigated" DC. Whoever set that city up must've been mad their own city got picked, because the whole "splitting streets by "NW, SW, etc." that's just cruel.
