One Meeeeeelion Miles

Not Actual Car

While reading the article, I couldn't help think of that Cracker song, Low. Some guy up in Maine one million miles. While a million dollars is no longer what it used to be as far as buying power, a million anythingelse is still really impressive.
drove his 1990 Honda

Let's break down the numbers. He has been driving this car for roughly 20-21 years. That means he has driven on average 47,600 miles a year. As the article states, the average driver drives 10-15k miles per year (a third of what this guy did).

That also comes down to about 130 miles a day, assuming he drove 365 days a year. Most likely he drove most of the miles during the week which would mean he drove about 182 miles a day, assuming no leap years. That's basically like commuting back and forth to Montgomery from Birmingham every work day for 21 YEARS straight without a vacation.

Finally it means he sat in that Honda driver's seat about 3 hrs a day or 1,095 hours a year. I've got a stocking stuffer idea for this guy.

Drive Safe.

Brooke got back home last night from her trip to Disney World. Shadow greeted her but didn't show the attention we usually expect from such a long time away. She did however run like her tail was on fire up-stairs.

She likes to run full speed on the carpet and then pounce on a sheet of paper and slide. What's really funny is when she slides into the wall or furniture, gets embarrassed high-tails it to the dark safe zone under the bed. Happened last night.
