I grew up farming in Kansas. We are so much a grid here. Everything was "2 miles north, 1 mile west and 1/4 mile South." We learned our directions early. Married a woman who grew up in Louisville. She knew up river and down river and turn right at Macy's. Dad was a mechanic. We learned "righty tighty and lefty loosey" right after we learned right and left. Then wife used her watch to figure out clockwise and counterclockwise. She and I both puzzled over each other.
I took a pulse with an analog watch the had spiderweb for the face and a spider for the second hand. It was a close to death moment and I felt a bit bad about using that watch.
