American Vernacular Landscapes

Last night I figured out that my current bedroom is oriented exactly like the bedroom of my childhood: aligned on an east-west axis, with my pillow in the middle of the westside wall, and the window to the north. I put this together because I awoke from a bad dream (polar bears) and, forgetting where I was, thought that I was back in my childhood room.

It seems an irony that this occurrence will probably grow more frequent as I get older.
