Stupid thoughts

Only E and W are reversed... bad artist!

Indeed however. I have noticed that some car dashboard compasses, particularly those that mount to window or top of dashboard, have reversed their normal orientations so that the driver can actually see the heading/bearing properly from the sides as opposed to from above
(Points N, reads N from the sideways but its on the S side from top view, and so on points W, but reads W from sidways, is on E side from top view)

Axually, the reversed compass is designed to be viewed like a heads up display on a dash, you should be able to see it's reflection in the windscreen and it appears correctly! I have these in both planes, works really well as long as your not heading into the sun! Then, you just read it normally and reverse your bearing!

It's been a weird day.
First, I found a hat full of money.
Then I was chased by an angry man with a guitar.

I'm writing a coffee table book about all the cars I've owned over the years. It will be an auto biography.

When midnight came while I was at the local pub I would often refer to the time as "Low Noon" as opposed to "High Noon". I guess ya had to be there.
