Incomprehensible to our grandchildren's generation—from a 1992 letter from my father.

Today I had an appointment with my optometrist and my usual way of getting there is down Paoli Pike. But today Paoli Pike was closed and I was at a loss to know what to do and I spent about an hour driving all over I don't know where and I never did get there. I have a new appointment for Friday and I have now looked at a map and know what to do.

Then again, the disconcerting feeling of being physically lost has been replaced by the even more disconcerting feeling of having lost one's phone, so maybe the current generation isn't so much better off after all.
