but I'm easily amused.
Google Maps has an option where it gives you the time to walk somewhere. So I guess if you looked up the directions from your house to your grocery store and you wanted to walk there you could find out how long it might take to go there. My car knows the way without me needing to really steer but it could be useful to someone else who doesn't have a grocery store addiction (or who is actually able to plan out enough meals to not need to go to the grocery store daily). So I was looking at doing a road trip to Washington DC and wanted to know the distance from here to there. It's about 6 hours or so by car and 4 days if you walk it. Of course that led me to wondering about the walking distance between crazy distant places. So I did St John's to Victoria. 48 days - so you could take your whole summer and walk across Canada. Although parts of it will be very wet - I like the jaunt along the St Lawrence...it would be quite beautiful but watch for bears in the piece through the wilds of Northern Quebec and Northern Ontario. Here's another fun one - Austin, TX to Toronto, Ont - 20 days...try to keep the kids entertained on that journey! And proving that everything is walking distance if you have enough time.... (at this point I was going to do the walking distance between Juneau, AK and Santiago, Chile but Google failed me...it's really, really far though...so pack extra walking shoes because you'll probably wear out a couple of pairs on the journey)
Okay so it's not earth shattering but it's postponing having to rake the lawn.
