No children around here... only had one kid of our own, and he's nearly
35 now... and hasn't produced any grandkids yet...

You are most welcome.. :)  Interesting freezer, apparently... :)

True.  Of course, most times I'd be somewhere like that, I'd probably
just have fun trying to figure out where I was... as long as I didn't
have a time crunch.  Usually I say I'm never lost, only exploring (even
if inadvertently)... (G)  On foot, I usually can tell where I am... it's
when driving that things move fast enough that I can get turned around
more easily... :)

 GJ> The most useful aid to orientation I have found is a small (3 cm)

As long as there's nothing sufficiently strongly magnetic to pull it out
of true...  (G)  As long as I have a map, I'm fine...  and if I misplace
my way, temporarily, a look at the map after lets me know where I really
was, and usually how I got there, so next time I'll know... :)
