whoa

I just did a distance measurement on Google Maps-- simply a connect-the-dots of the cities I've stayed at and/or passed through. The reading I get if we go as far as Lacey is 190 miles. I've done my "penance" to make up for the three spots where I was driven, so the figure is legitimate. It's also a conservative measurement: the cities are connected by straight lines; the actual paths will have been generally curvier (esp. between cities) or broken into lots of right angles (esp. within cities). So I'm somewhere close to the 200-mile mark, folks. Damn.
