[Dprglist] navigation troubles

[Murray Altheim]

One of the things that I would have thought happen would be that a car
finding such a situation would update a central database on finding the
dead end. It would seem that every single car has to learn about this
on their own. So much for the Hundredth Monkey idea for AI...

     In the evening
     The rice leaves in the garden
     Rustle in the autumn wind
     That blows through my reed hut.
