When I saw this comic I immediately thought of a quote I read almost 40 years ago:
I’ve never been lost, but I was mighty turned around for three days once.
–Daniel Boone
Why did I think of it so quickly after all these years? Has your memory every surprised and delighted you?

…I’m rarely lost, but there are times when I don’t know exactly where I am.
🙂
Sam and I rarely take a trip that we don’t get lost at least once or twice. I’ve been driving most of the time for the past year, so I think I will blame getting lost on my GPS guide. LOl.
🙂
Funny! I’m sure I remember obscure sayings at times but I don’t remember. 🙂
🙂
All the time! I want to remember this toon.
🙂
That is so funny!

I looked at the car in that cartoon and immediately thought “Studebaker”. I haven’t seen one of those since 1964. Does that count?
It sure does! 🙂
Been there a few times.

It’s funny how I can remember things from 60 years ago, but not just a few days ago. I think it is because the older memories have been in your brain longer.
That’s fairly usual as we get older. Things don’t always make it from short-term to long-term memory.
That sounds exactly like something the hubby would say. And yes, there are many times that something pops in my head and I can’t help but wonder where that came from and why now:)
🙂
Occasionally I see or hear something that will trigger memories from a long time ago.
This comic strip made me think of going somewhere with my ex husband. We were obviously off course and he refused to stop and ask for directions.
That is so typical!
I think at our age, we have all these memories in our brains and something read, heard or seen triggers one of those distant memories. Bob and I are both doing that right now
I love it when that happens. 🙂
Oh my gosh I do – do it all the time!
🙂
Yes, there are days where my memory surprises me!
