Mirrors

While driving one day, I glanced in my rear-view mirror to watch for incoming bears (it is said that Michigan Bears run in an excess of 45 mph--nobody has ever lived to tell the tale), and realized that the road behind me looks entirely different in a rear-view mirror. Flipped, everything seems oddly different. Imagine driving down your mirrored world. I at least would be completely disoriented. Imagine seeing a sign:

Curious. How does one pots?

Not to mention your traffic laws. You would be driving as if you were in Hong Kong, or Australia, or Sri Lanka or whatever. Left turns are now right; my neighbors are now on the south side of the street.

However!I f the whole world was flipped to your mirror, it would be constantly changing.

Flipping a world to your mirror makes only west, east, and vice versa; or north, south, and vice versa. Notice the conjunction: "or." This depends on the direction your mirror is facing. Driving south, it would only make east, west. Driving east, it would flip north to south. If I were driving south, my neighbors would still be on the north side of the street. Driving west, however, they would be flipped. Imagine driving south-south-east.

I suppose it's all relative.
