Once I find it so interesting to get different peoples opinions, this time on distance.
Being in the military, where most posts are huge and off the beaten path, I think everything in TV is close! Don't think twice about walking to Colony Plaza from Bonita or jumping in golf car for a quick ride to Home Depot. But here is my frame of reference. At our Alabama house, it is 3 miles to the closest Gas Station/Quick Mart, 4 miles to Post Office and Bank, 8 miles to closest Wal-Mart, and for a good meal you are talking 10 or more miles! Then throw in, that right now I am "super commuting" for my final assignment, I drive 75 miles ONE WAY to work.
So it all boils down to what we are use to, but still interesting!
