I have a really excellent visual imagination. I can imagine myself walking or driving great distances, and I can imagine all the scenery, the trees, the colour of the sky.

I also have the opinion that men don't remember details about peoples' appearance as readily as women do. I'm 99% sure my wife has green eyes, but that number was more like 60% for the first 5 years I knew her.
