[nagdu] blazing trails with tails.

[Larry D. Keeler]

I learn the regular routes first and then stray off from them to nose 
around. That way, I can get back to where I know. I also goof around near 
bus stops. If I can know a bus route for example, and I get disoriented, I 
can still catch a bus.
