Sure could use one of those wooden fingerposts from the old days – the ones that pointed in different directions with mileage figures painted on them, like >London 100m –>

The reason being: the bookstore sign out front must have a subtitle that reads “and geography information.” I’m happy to direct people six doors south to the OK Department of Public Safety, the business with the same-sized sign as mine, the office near the area of the parking lot that is always filled with cars.

If I could just sound authoratative when I give directions, though. I say, “it’s six doors down, that way,” at which point I indicate with my finger the direction. People always reply: “Six doors down?” And I answer: “Six doors down.”

Now that is settled…
