Title: Birthplace to home place
Post by: Uisce Beatha on April 15, 2008, 07:57:48 PM
    The Road goes ever on and on
    Down from the door where it began.
    Now far ahead the Road has gone,
    And I must follow, if I can,
    Pursuing it with eager feet,
    Until it joins some larger way
    Where many paths and errands meet.
    And whither then? I cannot say.

4825.3 miles

Can you beat that?  I know of at least one Ho who'll shatter it.

I live 9.8 miles from the hospital I was born in and probably 5 miles from the house my parents lived in at the time.  I don't know the exact address of it though.

Forgot about mrs fredo who is 40 miles and lil fredo who is 7 miles away from their birthplace.  I don't do any of that metric or seafaring unit of distance measuring bull*feces*.

Please tell me that when her email specifies she's from "Perth", you're NOT going to lay that "Baby, that can't be right, 'cause it's Heaven that's missing an angel" line on her.

No biggie.  It's refreshing sometimes to see Firefox stumble and be reminded that "all glory is fleeting".
