We used to rent a house on the Cape every summer - usually around Harwichport. The first year we went there, we got a little lost and when we stopped to ask directions the guy kept telling us to "bear right at the next rotary". Well, years ago back in New York (sorry, Noo Yawk), a "Rotary" was the name of a chain of gas stations. I figured they must still have them in Massachusetts, so that'swhat I was looking for. After getting turned around a couple times, I went back to the same guy and asked him what gas station he was talking about. He said, "where you from, Mista?" When I told him New York, he said, "OK then, what your lookin' faw is what you call a soickel". We found our way easily after that.
I always loved all the old Maxims on the Cape - are any still in use?
