It took me years to understand that the reason one of my brothers was never on time for his curfew once he was old enough to start going out by himself, is that he can’t calculate time worth shit. The whole process of “I have to be home by 1, so I need to leave the club by 12:45, so I better set the alarm for 12:30 and then I have time to pee and say my goodbyes” was and remains a mystery to him; he also can’t fathom that if it’s been taking him half an hour to walk from his house to Mom’s for the last six months it’s not because the street mysteriously stretches, it’s because it takes half an hour to walk from his house to Mom’s.
It seems to be one of those knacks that either you have it or you don’t, and many people don’t.
I hope they moved it anyway. Too bad if it got dinged up a bit in the process. I’ve seen pictures of cars parked by fire hydrants that got their windows broken out so a hose could be thread through the car.
SIGH, I started posting using a tablet with horrible and annoying autocomplete, there are so, so, so many such errors in my posts where it goes and changes cromulent words I type that I just started ignoring it.
