How far I out is too far?

For less then $100 a year, we have emergency ambulance service & emergency helicopter service in case we need to get to the hospital, in a hurry.


Have a wonderful coming week, folks...

The plural of lustrum is lustra. Remember the rules for Latin neuter plurals?

Depends how you live. If you buy groceries 3x a week, one hour away is wasting a lot of time and gas. If once a week, not so bad.

I prefer to be able to hike right from home because we exercise daily. Unfortunately, kayaking requires driving. For a few years, even than was doable without any driving, just needed a portage cart. But that was not rural, either.
