Mask, sunglasses, mints. 

So a few months ago I sold my truck of 20 years and got a new model. Upon cleaning it out, I found a stack of AAA maps hidden under the drivers seat that I haven't looked at in 10+ years. I still think its fun looking over paper maps, with addresses and phone numbers scrawled all over and streets circled. I had a couple notes about good/bad restaurants too.

i always loved looking at and reading maps way back to when i was a kid. they just fascinated me. in fact, my all time favorite souvenir from disneyland was their giant poster map of the whole park. still have a couple of those around.

when my choir goes on a road trip to sing, all of us use our phones for the GPS feature to find the next church/hotel/whatever, but there's one guy that still faithfully goes to AAA to get a map of wherever it is we're headed to. he wants the assurance of that paper back up. we've taken to calling him our very own living and breathing thomas guide.

Nice.

My mom was a mortgage broker that did it all, including the notary signing appointments. When I was a kid, if she couldn't get a babysitter or was in a time crunch, she used to take me on the signing appointments and I would navigate for her with a Thomas Guide and every now and then a combination of a Thomas Guide and hand written directions that looked like this:

91 fwy

Exit Eucild- R

L- Ponderosa

Three stop signs down L at Rutland

R- Merryweather

4th house on R, Gray Accord in driveway (4222 Merryweather)
