*** When "North" Isn't Actually North: Geocentric Direction Systems ***
<http://www.slate.com/blogs/lexicon_valley/2014/08/26/geocentric_direction_systems_use_uphill_uptown_instead_of_north_south_found.html>
Leah Velleman, Slate

> It might seem hard to believe, at first, that people can navigate using such a seemingly complicated and arbitrary system. What do you do when you travel from one village to another? How do you keep track of which way <i>kaja</i> is? But it turns out that Balinese people manage just fine. The system is no more arbitrary than our familiar sun-based north-south-east-west, and it has one major advantage: It works on cloudy days and nights when you can't see the sun and stars. If you can see the horizon, you will always know which way is <i>kaja</i>.



*** The Ex Next Door ***

E.C. Funke, Narratively

> Watching the slow creep of the blood moon this past April was one of several recent events I experienced with my ex. We shared that magical moment because, over a decade after our breakup, he moved in next door. Right. Next. Door. In Los Angeles — population: 3.8 million — he and his girlfriend randomly chose the apartment overlooking the sanctuary my husband and I have called home for five years.
