Free Range by Bill Whitehead for January 17, 2025

Desert “brats”.

Direction: forward

Destination: parking slab since typical garage loaded with stuff has no room for cars

Turn left at the waterpark.

I knew I should’ve turned left at Albuquerque!

Ask directions? That would be like reading the directions before assembling something.

When all else fails…

I am always right here. It is everything else that has been displaced.

I never asked for directions, but then I could read a map.

I don’t mind asking for directions if I need to, but I don’t like giving them. I’m never sure that I’m making myself clear, and don’t want to mislead people.

And remember the first (and ONLY) bylaw: Men only!

A lost cause.

Interesting. i read all instructions before I attempt assembly. I stop and ask directions when my map and the GPS seem in conflict with what’s outside the vehicle. I learned at a very young age (22) that time wasted attempting to polish my masculinity had better future use.

They should have taken that left toin at Albukoiky.

Now I feel like a non-conformist.

You are directly above the center of the earth.
