(To me, at the very least.)<br /><br />It's interesting to think what thirteen years away from the third-smallest state does to ones sense of distance. In 2000, I would have definitely thought the 50 miles between The Valley and Hartford was "far". Now I live in a state where it can take two weeks to bike to the far side of it.adventure!https://www.blogger.com/profile/11840448827760637569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1580218268291985619.post-63020633948852293222013-01-28T08:54:06.555-05:002013-01-28T08:54:06.555-05:00Classic.

Easier to blame some kid for using the road -- which he is entitled to do -- than to grow some ova, endure the honking of other drivers, and slow the fuck down.
