[/FONT][FONT=Verdana,Sans-Serif]Last summer, my husband, Steve, took me camping for the first time. At every opportunity, he passed along outdoor-survival lore. One day we got lost hiking in the deep woods. Steve tried the usual tactics to determine direction -- moss on the trees (there was no moss), direction of the sun (it was an overcast day). Just as I was beginning to panic, he spotted a small cabin off in the distance. Steve pulled out his binoculars, studied the cabin, turned and led us right back to our campsite. "That was terrific," I said. "How did you do it?" "Simple," my favorite boy scout replied. "In this part of the country all TV satellite dishes point south."[/FONT]

I like this anecdote because it has "symmetry."
