My Dad always says, 'You get lost...you find your way. You're never lost forever'.
But I don't think my Dad has ever been lost in Baltimore, where you can easily you find yourself in a scene from 'The Wire'.
And it feels like you're lost forever. After 10 years in Baltimore, I think I've got the city routes down and if I get lost nowadays...I can only hope I'm in a scene along side Omar.
But here's the thing...not everyone gets lost like me (you're thinking...'Duh. I don't').
To Noah, getting lost is actually....FUN. Because when Noah gets lost, he finds our new favorite dive bar, the best burrito spot outside of Mexico, a scenic overlook, field of wildflowers for the picking and then finds his way home. Don't look for cameo's of Noah on 'The Wire'. He doesn't get lost there.
Starting over in a new city with new roads, shortcuts and lots of traffic (that more resemble parking lots than freeways).... I vote for a GPS for my own driving escapades. Anyone second the motion?

I get lost! I get lost! And then I wonder, how much more of this city is there that I can still get confused 2 blocks from home? GPS is my friend now, but it does not take into account that you may not WANT to be an extra on The Wire, and can take you on some "interesting" routes. It helps, but has it's flaws.

Motion seconded.
ReplyDeleteI'd like Omar at my side through all of life's trials and tribulations. Good luck on your trip! Have you left yet. We're in oakland now. We'll have to get together sometime when we feel like making another road trip. (You should come and see the sequoias!) Also, in the Barstow area, I highly recommend camping in the Calico ghost town. It's creepy fun.
