Re: [lace-chat] east-west (where am I)
Hi everyone and Rose-Marie I don't know where exactly in the Fraser Valley you are (it is a Big Valley), if it helps any, when my DH and I were in the Richmond area (which I believe is referred to as part of the Delta) a little while ago both of us were disoriented. If I was in Vancouver proper, I would look for the mountains on the 'North Shore' and 'know' where I was. My DH has an uncanny sense of direction, but when he is disoriented, that's bad - it's on account of the flatness where we were, and in the middle of the 'burbs on a cloudy day where there is no significant landmark. Couldn't see the sun to get a bearing - eek. Probably if we lived there we'd sooner or later figure out where we were (heh heh) but we relied on the road map mostly, on that day. If you're surrounded by mountains, it can be just as confusing. Nonetheless, the whole of the Lower Mainland is a beautiful place. -- bye for now Bev in Sooke, BC (west coast of Canada) To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace-chat] east-west
Further to the comments on east-west dyslexia - I find that in certain places in the country I get 180 degrees disoriented. One of the worst places for me is the area where we have now moved, the Fraser Valley. Other places I can go and have no problem with east-west (and of course, north-south). I can't figure out why - any one else similarly afflicted? Any thoughts (be nice, now! grin) on why?

Re: [lace-chat] east-west
Rose-Marie, could be that being surrounded there is no definitive place to base direction, for instance, if I can see where Keira Mountain is I know which way is west. Where you are every direction has mountains, so there is no starting point. Just my confused in the southern hemisphere two cents worth, however, since there are no pennies here, I suppose that would be my five cents worth.
