Here's pi in your face!

Okay, with that of the way, let's move on to other matters.
How come Dunkin' Donuts breakfast sandwiches are sometimes really great, and other times not particularly good? Probably the freshness of the bread product involved is a major factor.
Whatever happened to the weather cooling off gradually? It seems like it went from T-shirt to coat weather in a week or so. I hate the cold. According to my mom, it'll be warmer tomorrow, so that's a good thing.
Today, I took a route that I've taken many times in the past, only in reverse, and I had trouble figuring out which way to turn. It seems like that should be easy to figure out, right? I don't know. I have a pretty good memory, but practically no sense of direction.
Speaking of directions, I usually rely on street names and signs to figure out how to get somewhere. There seem to be a lot of other people who know how to get places, but don't know street names. They go by landmarks, or some other system, which makes it difficult for them to give me directions.
"And then you go past the bank."
"You mean the one on [X] Street?"
"I don't know."
What's even worse is when people measure distances in units of time, because that always assumes that you're going to be driving the exact same speed they usually do. I'm honestly not great with distances in miles, either, but at least I have the odometer to guide me in those situations.
So, just out of curiosity, how do other people usually find places, and give directions to others?
