How is it people seem to always be aware when a Wal-Mart is being constructed nearby? I have NO IDEA what places are currently under construction where I live! In fact, short of literally travelling around the town and asking any construction worker I find, I wouldn't even know how to find out.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
