How to Give Directions

Seven or eight of the volunteer firefighters are engaged in hauling brush that a resident cut back around his barn — part of a grant-funded wildland fire mitigation project.



When it's loaded, the chief gives directions to the ranch where the brush will be dumped into gullies for erosion control:



"Go down J_________ Hill and turn left by the corral where they found the body."



And I have now lived here long enough that I knew where he meant.
