As far as I can tell I'm still the only Languishite who has been to Nunavut.   :cool:

It'd be cool if you were there at the same time I was in Ushuaia :)

12/50 is pretty good for someone from New England. -_-

Not really, as you can knock out half of that in an afternoon.
A native New Englander would never do that. Going to another state is a total day trip for us.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Well it is a long walk to Fall River.

Doesn't matter. Asking a Rhode Islander to drive to New Hampshire is like asking them to go on The Long March.

If it's more than an hour away it's too far.

I think this is why native New Englanders are useless. I went to Providence on a date once.

:lol:  Everybody I know from New York or New England who has visited one or the other has marveled at how *huge* Connecticut actually is, since it takes more than 80 minutes to cross the state.  As a kid I remember thinking the trip from NY to Waterbury was a transcontinental expedition and we had to stop probably 5 times.  In terms of space and time alone, being uprooted from NY to Stamford was so traumatic.  Forty. Five. :mellow: MINUTES?!?  :o  :weep:

EDIT:  Crossing Pennsylvania at night for the first time as a 19-year-old was a stark revelation at the vastness of this dark continent.   :sleep:

New Englanders are not to blame for your choice of dating venue.

:) It is 45 miles to the next town (and no, there is not much in between) one way, 100 miles the other way.  In Garbon terms that is 30 minutes of Wyoming travel to the east, 65 minutes to the west.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

I know I've said this before but...

in Yukon I've driven more than an hour to go for lunch.  I've driven and hour and a half in order to go for supper.
