Try driving through Texas!
West Texas is miles and miles of dirt and roadkill.
Lydia: Its removal from Burma is a felony and when triggered it has the power to melt human eyeballs.
Giles: In that case I've severely underpriced it.

Try driving through Texas!
You've got to remember, I'm from New England where (most of) the states are tiny, and I don't drive out of New England much. Granted, I'm originally from the one NE state that's not small, but I realized recently the farthest I've been in Maine is not even halfway up the state.

I-95 is torture to drive on. At least 81, while endless, goes through the pretty mountains.
Yeah, I can put up with a lot of highway if the scenery is pretty. Well, as long as it's not scenery I've driven through hundreds of times before (e.g. the stretch of 95 I take to go up to Maine).

Ah, the East, where driving all day gets you through six states. Then, the West, when all day gets you most of the way through Colorado. Lord, west Kansas and east Colorado, straight lines of nothing.

Not in Florida. It was novel for me to move to Ohio and realize that in four hours, I could go through three states and wind up in Canada.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I remember when Cass visited ages ago, she was amazed that she could be in three different states in one day. Being from the smallest state in the union, the idea of taking multiple days to get through one state is weird.

Tea:
This is the first day this week that I don't feel awful. My stomach decided to have a complete meltdown this week. So, of course, now I'm starving and want to eat everything in sight.

Ya, here in CA, the counties are bigger than some east coast states! It was mind boggling when I first moved here. Now? NSM.

Omnis, are you fairly settled in at your new place? Do you like it? I can't imagine moving into a place that I hadn't seen before.

And from the 2nd smallest. You can get to three other different states from my parents' house in under 30 minutes. I was boggled by kids I met in Texas when I was visiting my grandparents there who'd never been out of their state.
