I was sent some info the other day on saving power, most of it tongue in cheek... but putting forward the question. why are we being asked to cut back with using our air conditioners to help save electricity but on the other hand being pushed to buy electric cars, it doesn’t make sense..
Have you looked at maps? I grew up using maps and they have disappeared. Then I looked at the history of road maps and they lasted such a short time. Now hardly anyone knows where anything is. I was in Alexandria, Va and took a cab to Mt. Vernon which didn't really have an address and the driver took me to the Mount Vernon hospital as he didn't know what Mt. Vernon was.
We never totally rely on GPS always have a map in the car and we still have available what we refer to as Melways which give us street by street in our city and some nearby cities. And the other thing re cab drivers, must if them don’t have a clue where anything is!

That is so funny 😂
I laugh every time. It’s a catchphrase around my house.
