Got an email from shopsmith saying a demo was near me

Post by reible »

Yea only 215.3 miles away. Sure I want to drive what maybe 3-1/2 hours to get there then watch the demo and drive back the 3-1/2 hours. I love my shopsmith but I'm afraid there is a limit to that love...........

It depends on your likes and dislikes. I know quite a number of people who regularly drive 400+ miles just to go shopping. If you think like they do, 200 miles isn't much.

Are you saying the shopping malls are 400 miles from 'nowhere'? :D

Sorry I simply could not resist.

BTW nowhere is God's country!!! :cool:

It's closer to you in Arizona than to me in Lubbock. Lubbock and El Paso are both in West Texas!

Brownsville Texas at 850 miles would have been a stretch, but still in Texas.

They do need a better grasp on distances though.

It's just under 400 miles for me. Most of that in NM. Dusty's about 100 miles closer. Long way to go to Lowes.
