Honestly! You’d think I’d learn. Two days in a row this week I’ve assumed I knew where to go somewhere and didn’t bother with the GPS. On both occasions I wasted time wandering around until I finally figured out where I was going.
And these experiences made me think about how often I do this sort of thing. They also made me wonder about the phrase “going off half-cocked.” I knew it had something to do with old guns, but it was interesting to find out how the phrase actually originated. If you look at the picture you’ll see a lever or pin sticking up there on the left. That’s the “cock.” When it’s back as far as it will go and you pull the trigger, it will fall forward
