I got lost this morning, but this time I know how I got
lost. I turned right instead of left. When I turned right, I thought I was
turning east and I was actually turning west.
This incident occurred about noon, so the sun was high in
the sky. I do not think this had anything to do with me getting lost because I
did not look at the location of the sun. I finally figured out I was going west
on Tropicana instead of east.
I made a u-turn at a stop light with the turn signal green.
It is not a good idea to make a u-turn if you only have a blinking yellow light
because oncoming traffic does not stop since they have a green light. All
right, I do not trust some of the drivers here in Las Vegas or for that matter in any other
city where I am driving.
I made the u-turn and went back east on Tropicana until I
came to Maryland Parkway .
I turned north onto Maryland ,
which was a left off Tropicana. I knew I was going north because of the gas
stations and fast food restaurants on the corner of Tropicana and Maryland . It was then
that I realized why I get lost.
I do know my right hand from my left hand, but I am not
always sure which way is west, east, north or south. I can find my directions
if I know the landmarks on the corners; however, if I am in a strange section
of the city and do not know the landmarks then I do not know which direction I
turn.
