U-turns

Prior to heading from Brookland to Samantha's Restaurant in Silver Spring the other day, I consulted Google Maps for directions.

The advice was thus: take a bunch of streets, then at the very end do a U-turn and head back in the opposite direction.

Really, a U-turn? That's the best way to get there, Google?

I initially mocked these directions, but upon closer inspection it does appear the U-turn was the best way to do it.

Reading this post feels like a U-turn.

Well, yes. I pointed out what I thought was the ridiculousness of the directions only to be overridden by SAL and the Grand Marnier.
