When do you arrive Amy? Surely you're not already there? Then again, that East Coast is sure squished together!
Oh, God. Oh, God. My hair. My hair! The government gave me bad hair!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

So amazingly tiny. States smaller than cities I've lived in. They're wee.

Pfft. Amy moved from one state to the one next door. But it's an 18-hour drive if I wanted to go see my family in Boston, and 12 hours to DC. The East Coast is SO big.

Congrats, Amy!
Drew & Kristin, hope it all goes well.
So you know those type of nightmares where you are at a mall, and have to, say, take a shower? I've now lived the dream. The Y in Parkville is actually in a strip mall. Sandwiched between a Five Guys, GNC and a chinese restaurant. Also has a Kmart, Ross, a hardware store, Safeway, Sally's, etc. It's just odd, to be showering in the lockerroom and realize "I'm at a MALL."
Provided traffic isn't too bad during the week, it shouldn't be too bad a drive. 15 minutes?
OK, time to do some more spindles.

18 hours can get you from one end of California to the other. With no traffic. Which never really happens in California. I don't miss that at all.
I am afeared to even Google map what it takes to get across Texas. I recall it taking about 8 years. But I was young and supremely bored, so...
I realize that the Western states are craxy large though in some cases.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I sent a message to Brenda's sister on FB. At least I hope that was Brenda's sister.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The west coast is only three states! The east coast is like 75, 100 states!

Because books.
java, it's only six hours between where we were and where we are now.
New England is crazy small and squished, I agree, but the lower Northeast, not so much.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
While most of the weather wouldn't suit me, I bet I'd love the scale of New England. For the same reasons I love the scale of Northern Europe (I haven't been to Southern Europe or Eastern Europe so I cannot speak of those). I like that there are dense, walkable cities, towns and villages and then BAM you're in the country. Having grown up in LA with its endless sprawl, it's so refreshing. I wish we could go through the West and redevelop things in a pre-WWII pattern of non-sprawl.

Google Maps says San Diego to Portland is 18 hours. And of course, there's never ever any traffic on I-95 on the East Coast, no sirree.
