Gee Away to Me Come Bye Left Haw Right!
I've always had trouble with left and right. Why, then, did I pick two hobbies that rely on directions AND that give them different names?
When driving a horse, the left command is "haw" and the right is "gee."
When herding, go left is "come bye" and right is "away to me."
So, when I get confused, and motion come bye and say "away," Caeli gives me the "why-did-I-get-the-incompetent-handler" look.
Maybe my Border collie will teach me directions. Haw!
That'll do.
