Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's the worst, brenda -- I know from experience!

I think my childhood pediatrician is on the radio right now doing a local news quiz! Huh.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Left or right-hand drive helps me a lot, especially for distinguising Australia/NZ/South Africa from the US and Canada

Fiona, fucking brilliant (also big fucking fail on my part). I've never been able to remember which side of the street anyone drives on--I have to mentally get into my car, work out what the placement of the steering wheel implies, and then go from there. But I didn't know the map would look like that, even counting the countries I've been driven in. Interesting.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

So we appear to be out of crisis mode. Dad reports Mom's back to her condition of a week ago, but I'm not sure how good Dad's reporting is. OTOH it lets me go running with the dog with a clearer conscience...

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Strix, did you use Google, or no? I want to be fair when I lose horribly.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I'm now hooked on geoguessr. Got.within 5 km when I saw a bus with the words, "Alice Springs." But I think I'm proudest when I got within 200km from only a sign that said "Sportsmen's Paradise." (I guessed the middle of Louisiana, but it was on the Gulf.). Lesson -- it's amazing what trivia helps.

On the other hand, I once guessed in South Africa when I was actually in Nova Scotia.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

11916! Dammit, now I'm hooked. Guessing Gallup, AZ, from the logo on a passing truck got me over 4000 points. Then I got two scrubby forests and downtown Osaka. Forests? Tend to look alike.

Our wings are not tired.

Not even looking at the Geoguessr. I am confident that, 1) I don't have enough hours in my day and 2) I would suck at this.

I am however, enjoying the play by play competition.

Thrive to spite them

I'm not looking things up but I just got 6406 for getting within a few blocks of the picture. I was trying to eliminate - it looks tropical. It looks like it might be in the US, and I pan around and there's a not every well hidden sign for the Key West Art History Museum.
