    Shit like that blew my mind first time I really travelled outside of Tulsa, OK. If you’re not too bright, it might take me 20-minutes to explain the whole grid. ONE page of instructions will land you anywhere you want to go. Numbers crossed by names. Even the numbers crossed by numbers make sense.

    Clearly marked signs, everywhere. A quick glance will tell you which direction you’re travelling. On a side street 1 block west of Harvard? Yeah, Marion runs all the way through town, and it’s always 1 block west of Harvard.

    Travelling doing Y2K updates, “Fuck you mean the corner of Green and Grass?! How the hell am I supposed to know where that it?”
