I pop open Google Maps [1], hit the arrow and I find myself contemplating a
new outlook on Lower Sheol:

[An upside down map of South Florida] [2]
 

At first, I thought Google [3] decided to put an end to the Eurocentralism of
world maps [4] and force a new perspective on us, but then I realized that
earlier, I had simply rotated the map to face the direction I was travelling.

Ah well …
