Weather? But this is The City!

Alright, quotes from clueless Brooklynites about how you'd expect 3" of rain in an hour "in Kansas, but this is Brooklyn!" (what, you think the city limits protect you from weather, as well as the real world?) aside...

Back in Denver for a wedding a number of years back, a woman was asking the clerk at the hotel how to get somewhere. Clear, sunny day.

"Go south on Monaco, you can't miss it."

"How do I get to Monaco?"

"It's one block that way." (points)

"Well, how will I know which way is south?"

Me: "The mountains are to the west."

"How does that help me?"

That's when you give her pedestrian directions that include the freeway. :P
