Frazz by Jef Mallett for March 02, 2023

Woops, there I go again…

They have topo maps at the library?

But Einstein said “If you can’t explain it to a six-year-old, you don’t understand it yourself.”

Say, “Again, there you go.” using a Yoda voice.

Mama Mia!

I first heard it from Louis Armstrong, when a lady asked him why he plays jazz. He began with, “If you have to ask …”

“There you go again” was Reagan, though, right? October 28, 1980 debate

I love old maps.

I used to flip through Rand McNally road maps and let my mind wander.

“Do not fear mistakes, there are none” – Miles Davis

You can use the net to find webcams in areas you want to see

And here I go again, on my own..!

One of the last rational things to leave the mouth of Dilbert creator Scott Adams:“If you can’t construct a coherent argument for the other side, you probably don’t understand your own opinion.” [funny that he actually lost this ability, if he ever really had it]

Paper maps are just better when you’re exploring, you can take more in at a glance, you can use your fingers to get an idea of time-distance in the travels.It’s hard to get that overall look on a phone.. it’s different when I’m on my bike going somewhere new (or in the car where I have a dedicated Garmin GPS).

I have to agree with Frazz; I like to scroll around Google Maps, but there’s something special about paper maps. I save a lot of the maps that sometimes come with issues of National Geographic, but it bums me out that fewer issues come with maps these days.

“If I could tell you what it meant, there would be no point in dancing it.” —Isadora Duncan (1877–1927)

Helen Keller seemed to do OK with things she could neither hear nor see.

The description on these is topographic maps but they are actually more relief maps. But they still have great detail.
