Hi, Flora. This is Amy. I'm going to think it's lost a lot and I'm curious if having a natural sense of direction is a real thing.

Is this an innate kiss we're born with. Thank you very much.

Hello?

Hey Amy, it's Flora from E.L.

Hi Flora, how are you? I'm good. Thanks for calling with this. It's such a great question.

Thanks. I've pondered it for years and years as I've been wandering around different

neighborhoods or grocery store aisles.

Like a rumba in the corner bumping into the wall?

Yeah, well I can sense objects in my way, but yeah, there's a lot of meandering.

You said in your message that you get lost a lot.

Yes, I do. Well, how much is a lot? Well, the full-blown losing my way tends to happen more if I'm on a trip.

Somewhere new.

Yeah, somewhere new.

Let's just say that that's the case.

Is that not always the case? No, it's not always the case.

I mean, for instance, I need to pick my husband up at the hospital the other day.

And he just said a minor procedure, but he was in recovery and I wanted to be there when he woke up.

And I got into the parking lot, which I had been in three times earlier that day and came in from a different direction and suddenly it

looked like a whole new city.

So yeah, I do find myself saying, how did I get lost on this?

I was just here.
