The Danger of Poor Communication

My husband is traveling to Circleville, Ohio today for a meeting. That's halfway between Chilicothe and Portsmouth. One of the participants in the meeting, who is coming from way out of state, called S this morning to confirm the time of the meeting and to get directions. As S and his co-worker tried to work out directions, S finally asked him, "Just where are you?" Apparently, co-worker had spent the night in Centerville, which is a suburb of Dayton.

Communication is important. Circleville and Centerville sound the same, and might "draw" the same image in one's mind, but they are definately NOT the same. Just ask the guy that had to pack up his company car in a flash and drive 75 miles this morning.
