I got 16,094 first run through. Was within 50km of Abbey, SK. :cool:

Three of the five I guessed were in Mexico.
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

Middle of palermo, 1.2 km away, saw a tour bus.   :P

It's an interesting idea, but too often I've gotten the "stuck on a dusty road in the middle of nowhere" location.

Damn thing put me in the middle of a classroom lecture hall with no way out. :glare:

Still got within 2200km, though. :cool:

Being bored, I've been doing a Google Street View tour of Bulgaria...

...man, that place is bleak.  But I can understand pretty much all the signage.  Maybe I should rescue a poor, HOTT Bulgarian lass.  :P

I've heard Bulgaria and Romania have lots of attractive ladies. Merely hearsay however.

One of my vendors has an office in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, and is constantly rotating support dudes to California on six-month appointments to help them get more proficient with both the software and their English.  Trust me my friend, the ladies are attractive.  I'm beginning to wonder if it's illegal to be a young woman in Romania and be unattractive. :hmm:

Oh I'm not doubting the Romanians. I think I had my first erection when I was 10 watching Nadia Commenici. It's the Bulgarians I'm questioning.

Holy shit.  I was playing this, and I get a road in the middle of forest.  No signs, no nothing.

But I say to myself - this looks familiar.  Look at the types of trees, look how small they are - that's go to be the Yukon!

And it was.   :cool:

Small because of the short summer, or small because 2nd growth?
