How far (physical distance) has work taken you?

How can all those stores possibly be supported by the population? It just seems unreal

It is the largest town in a rural area that draws traffic from a radius of 25-50 miles. Once WalMart has moved in and killed off the marginal retailers in a town, it becomes a magnet for people who need the goods formerly offered by the defunct business. Then, all the rent-to-own places show up to cater to WalMart employees, and the employees of the fast-food places that follow WalMart into town. It's very sickening to watch a vibrant little town die this way.

South Central to Midtown, Kansas City. Frankly I love living in cities, everything has it's own life and energy, it really is a concrete jungle home to the human animal.

The only problem is that stargazing sucks in cities. I'm looking at a job that will take me to Montana.

You have to keep this hush-hush, as it's kind of a classified thing, but I'm posting from one of the moons of Jupiter

Even better.

Surfing the hydrocarbon seas on Titan.

From what I've read the hydrocarbon seas have a consistancy more along the lines of thick pudding then water.

Sounds like that sucks for surfing.

On Titan, you can only hang two.

On Titan, you can only hang two.

If you're a native, you only have two.

City!? I have to drive at least 15 miles to get to a town of ~7000, and I HATE going there.

Yes we're pretty remote as well. One thing worth mentioning here is that we couldn't live today as we did when we first moved here. I was willing to do whatever it took to make a go of it, but at our ages this would no longer be acceptable.

What changed everything was the internet. This allows me to run a business from a place where it would not have possible twenty years ago.

As for the longest trip made for work; near Lima, Peru.
