Everyone in my house is completely blind to the patterns of movement in the
kitchen. If I'm doing vegetables and salads, doesn't it make sense that I'll
be moving from the prep area to the refrigerator, and that people shouldn't
stand between the two? I don't understand this, although I *do* know that
some people are forever lost in their own towns because they cannot form a
graphic image of the layout in their minds.
