Nashville wildlife issues:

My plan was to follow a critter trapsroad to an abandoned critter trapschopper's Nashville pest control headquarters which was about halfway through the suburban neighborhood, turn left and go about a half-mile to the north to another critter trapsroad which I could follow back to the point where the car was located. I found the pest control headquarters without seeing anything of interest, then walked along, checking nuisance critters neighborhoods for signs of recent use. When I came to the town I went left again, which should have taken me back to my car. I walked along this road for a time and then it dawned on me that there should be an open field on my right where there was nothing but suburban Nashville neighborhood.

The sky was overcast, but I had my compass pinned to my coat and I glanced at it to check directions to assure myself that everything was alright. I had to shake the compass and let it settle before I could believe that I was headed north when I should have been traveling south. Usually I am no dumber than many other pest control operators, but it took me a good ten minutes to figure out where I was and how I came to be there. I was on the east road when I should have been on the west one and somehow, I had traveled all the way through the suburban neighborhood. My mental compass wouldn't adjust itself so, in order to be safe as well as to have easier walking, I returned to the place where I had left the suburban Nashville neighborhood and followed the critter trapsroad back into the suburban neighborhood in a westerly direction. This road ended in a small chopping.

Using my compass, I crossed this chopping and another cutting, following a road out, and came to a pest control headquarters. This pest control headquarters was unfamiliar to me until I investigated the window and then I realized that it was the same which I had passed earlier in the day. The act of looking in the window brought my mental compass back into adjustment and I was all right for the rest of the day. Somewhere after leaving the pest control headquarters for the first time, I became so interested in nuisance Nashville wildlife tracks that I lost my directions and turned to the right when I thought that I was going straight ahead. Sometimes a man will get lost by not heeding the instructions of his companions or his guide. I, with three companions, was removing unwanted Nashville wildlife on the edge of a piece of suburban neighborhood that was about five miles square and surrounded by roads.
