I live in a area that surrounds a lake. As the crow flies, it might be 4 miles. My lake doesn't have a bridge and the dam wasn't built for vehicle traffic.
So yeah, my house is 8 miles from your location and I saw pigs fly yesterday.
My zip code and area code don't help. 17 years ago, you had to find out what the first 3 digits were in the 7 digit phone numbers. It wasn't unusual for the neighbor who only lived a couple of miles down the road to be long distance.
But in the scheduler's defense, my Garmin has now decided that the shortest and fastest distance for one of my routes takes me 20 miles north and on a road with slower speed limits.
Live your life in such a way that when your feet hit the floor in the morning; the devil shudders...And yells OH #%*+! SHE'S AWAKE!
