OT: I Heard 72% of Adults Live Within......

It's 1,140 miles from where I was born (Verona, NJ) to where I live now (outside Tampa). It was a cicuritous route between the two: Rutherford, NJ for high school years, then Vietnam and Germany with the military, then Charlotte, NC, then Scottsdale, AZ for a short spell, then back to NC (Durham and Charlotte), then Knoxville,TN, then West Hartford, then Raleigh, NC and finally to Tampa, where I can put my feet up and rest a spell.
 
218 miles, South Jersey to Simsbury. During my working career I'd say 11 stops with a median of 1100 miles.
 
My permanent residence has never been more than about 15 miles from where I was born and raised which itself is about 7 miles from Storrs.

A Connecticut Yankee near King Geno's Court, you might say.
 
Eastern NY to southwestern UT, the Google says 2478 miles door-to-door.
 
757 miles driveway to driveway. I do get lost a lot so it could be much closer.
Thank God for smartphones and the Google maps app. Everyone could not read (or make sense of) Thomas Brothers Guides. I had no problem reading them, but I knew a lot of folks that either didn't have one, or couldn't read it, especially at night. :confused: Anyone that has a "smartphone" should NEVER get lost, or not know where they are, especially since there's a blue dot on the Google map app that tells you exactly (within 10 feet) where you are. :) #neverlostagain

I haven't lived within 20 miles of where I grew up since I graduated from college. It's now 1,282 miles, Springfield, MA to Vero Beach, FL.
 
Place of birth: Bronx, NY.
Current residence: La Costa, California.
Distance: About 2,850 miles.

I would never leave the San Diego area. Where else can you go an entire year without having to use your heat or your air conditioning?
