It’s a somewhat common experience to zone out while driving and not remember how you got from points A to B. However, is it just as common to “wake up” from being zoned out between points A and B and momentarily forget that you’re in New(ish) Location and not lost in your Old Location (hometown). Or say someone asks you for directions someplace and you give them directions how to get there based on a different location you lived? I’ve been living in the Midwest US for 12 years now and still occasionally give directions or think I’m still on the East Coast.
I’m 54, not a military kid, just a genX that had hippie parents.
I’ve lived in 13 different states. Went to a different school every year, sometimes a couple of different schools in one year.
When people ask for directions, i tell them to use maps.
