Really not all that far when you put it in perspective. I thought that way too until I had my horizons adjusted the other night while watching CNN. They were talking about Sudan (Darfur), and that it is the size of the entire eastern half of the United States in size (from the Mississippi). WTF?! Now, I'm not that bad with Geography (I didn't think so), but when I think about some of these countries in Africa and stuff, for some reason, I think small countries, maybe like Germany or England in size, not bigger than the Louisiana Purchase!!! CRIPES! SO, see, moving halfway across the country here is only like going a third of the way across an African country or maybe a little further than across Queensland or the Northern Territories, so really just a short jaunt...
