They seem to be awake all the time. At night they go feeding for stuff on land. Guess it’s cooler or something or it’s different from living in your own clan’s shit all day.

I was wondering why you didn’t state what it was. Probably should also put a warning not to google it at work. Luckily, my personal pc is right next to my work pc in my home office so all GoA is done on my personal pc.

To make the combined area of Minnesota and Iowa equal to Finland’s area, you’d need to remove about 22% of Iowa’s total area.

Can’t we just remove 51% of Texas instead?

No; you have to get rid of it all, or it comes back.

It appears pretty close. Air, or driving, or string on a globe?

This is probably. It’s like a long day drive to Georgia, then another day’s drive to our friend’s place in florida. We normally stop overnight near the florida/georgia border.

Air on a G string, I believe.
Before you leave for the trip, though, you have to say, in a thick Austrian accent , to your loved one’s, “I’ll be Bach!”

Teh Googooz maps sez 724 miles to Windsor, ON, but 663 miles to Miami, FL (driving). :man_shrugging:

Using the ruler on Googooz Earth, it’s almost a tie as the crow flies!!!

The face book map drew a line from ATL to MIA and ATL to the closest land-point that would be considered “Canada”.

Here. I goggled it.
