RE: Long but infrequent

Comment comment by VnutZ on 12 December 2007

Have you tried putting it into Google Maps to see what directions it gives? I know it tells you to swim across the Atlantic ... but I'm curious what other seas they tell you to swim in.

RE: Long but infrequent by mikeforbes :: NR5

I tried that (so I could link to it for the comment above), but Google Maps "could not calculate driving directions" from Colorado Springs to Baghdad. I could do it in Google Earth, but I can't install it on these Internet cafe computers...

And I forgot to factor in going on leave into the previous calculation, which adds another 4 total trips (2 each here and back). So ten trips over six years, averaged over 260 days each year ... 47.6 miles each "work day." Which is still a lot less than some people.
