Facts

Because of hemispheres and other things, water tends to swirl counter-clockwise down the drain in this half that we’re in now.  Kind of interesting, but not that interesting.  On that front (the hemispheres and other things front), I think it's more interesting that Adam's sense of direction is mixed up down here.  I discovered this when we were walking somewhere the other day and got turned around (happens to me all the time but very infrequently when I'm with Adam).  Adam looked up at the sky and said something about how south has felt like north since we've been here and then kind of scrunched up his nose and tapped it.  I asked him what the nose thing was about and he explained that he feels his keen sense of direction vaguely in the nose area because it points him toward north.  What.  Something to do with iron levels in the body and the magnetic pull of the poles, he said.  VERY interesting.  This is a true* thing because I googled it, by the way.  The mysterious shroud besieging Adam’s (and anyone else’s) highly envied sense of direction is a little bit lifted.

*Not definitely true.  Might be psychosomatic based on some not true information Adam once heard.  Who knows.  Still pretty mysterious.
