I gave my package addressed to Philadelphia, PA to the middle-aged clerk to weigh. She looked at the destination and smiled.
"I've been there," she said. "Alcatraz was fascinating."
That stopped me cold. Information went to central processing and did not compute. What was wrong with that statement?
"I loved the Golden Gate Bridge," she added.
Contact! Now in touch with destination neurons.
"Oh, I think you mean San Francisco," I finally countered. She nodded in agreement and gestured to the package.
"I've been there too! Next I'd like to go to Niagara Falls."
That's in Florida, right?

Happy New Year
Happy New Year! I thought I posted a reply but am not sure it computed.
Guess this is a good example of how they say people don't know their geography these days.
