The Lord and I enjoyed this post...giggle...giggle...snicker...
snicker. Now...let me explain the distance in hours. In Seattle it would take our friend an hour to commute to his house. Keep in mind...it was only 20 miles away. Everything is measured by how long it takes to drive there due to the horrible traffic. For example, it took me 30 minutes to drive 5 miles to work. In small town Texas it takes me 7 minutes to drive 10 miles. In Texas you measure a drive by miles and in Washington you measure the drive by the time it takes to drive it. That and the fact that NOBODY drives above the speed limit.
By the way...who is "Jim Foxworthy?" I know of Jeff Foxworthy...who's Jim?
Oh, he forgot one. If it's raining and there is a STILL a line at the carwash...you must be in the Pacific Northwest.
Oh ok!! I get the distance thing now. And yes, I got the dudes name wrong sorry! hehe.
