How does that work? What's the reason for establishing cardinal points/direction? The reason i'm asking is because, for comparison, i've also picked up ways to recognize cardinal directions (although i'm not quite at the 'nearly subconscious' point yet) for religious reasons, since as a traditionally observant Jew i need to pray 3 times a day in a specific direction (Jerusalemwards). -Stephen (Steg) "Dime ladino d'ande venes ke te kero konoser Dime si futuro tenes Yo te vo a defender." ~ de un artikolo en el listserv Ladinokomunita
