Ok silly as it may seem, i'd really like to know where does the farthest PW member live

I'm not that far, Montreal Canada

That's reasonable to want to know - but, can I ask farthest from where?

"Although the moon is 1/5 the size of the earth, it is still farther away."

I live in Los Angeles, a 5-minute drive away from the famous and very lively Hollywood Boulevard.

I can see Big Ben from my window.

I live on a half acre in a country setting down a gravel private road amid a large enough city of new home development built in the past 25 years. The deer come through here to feed, and there are a number of them (7 to 10) but never more than 2 at once. We have been here since October 2006, so this is quite a novelty for us. To the South East is Mount Rainier and to the West great sunsets. It is very restful here and quiet and wooded. We had to take 32 trees down due to rot and too close to the house, and lots of debris during our first winter here from very scary windstorms. Today we are bulldozing to flat land for the 2nd time to make way for a workshop garage. While it's a primitive setting, there is a lot to do in building and maintenance. Drive just two blocks out of the neighborhood and it's busy traffic, stop and go, and gridlock.

I must be the farthest away since I'm in the middle of nowhere.

BruceD,

That is nonsense logic that my father-in-law and husband enjoyed dropping into the consersation - it's supposed to sound profound but it's absurb when you think about it.

Another example would be "I cut it twice and it's still too short!" (woodworking)

I said that because I wondered where we were measuring "farthest" from in the original posting.

I had a neighbor that we used to meet almost nightly in the driveway between our houses to chat with, and he called that place "the center of the universe".

And, when we look from our perch on earth into the sky we are not really looking up, we are looking out there. "Somewhere Out There Beneath the Clear Blue Sky....." (This finally has a little music in it to qualify for the posting.)

I hope you don't think this posting is too flippant but there were many "verbal jokesters" around from the time I married into the family." Puns, limericks, daffy definitions, and nonsense songs.

How are things in Victoria,BC? You are up the road a bit from me.

Next door to Daffy Duck!

I am in the middle of nowhere too. Cibolo Texas

I'm not sure how far away it is, but wherever it is, "they" assure me it's my own little world.

I live in paradise, also known as Southern California.
And like every paradise, it has it's serpents. But the orange tree in my garden makes up for that. And only forbidden fruit has C vitamin!

Farthest from Mount Real? Probably in South Africa...

I once saw hobbits and elves residing in our city and beyond. I guess it was just a Weta Workshop imagination of Peter Jackson.

I live in Harlan, Kentucky. I live in a 98 year old Farm house, I look out my window, I see a huge mountain on the right, another mountain on the left and a mountain in front of me. Usually after it rains about 8 deer walk out in my front yard to find dinner, at night all I can see is the night sky and hear crickets and the sound of water running off the mountain. I am also 20 minutes from a gas station and town.

I live in Saint Michael, Minnesota. About 30 miles North West of Minneapolis.

How bout little old Australia. In the middle of nowhere.... Lightning Ridge, get a map of Aus and look for the New South Wales/Queensland border. Got it? right, now put your finger just on the NSW side where it starts to go all wobbly. Thats where I live (approximately)

Seriously, the closest town is 40minutes drive (and thats at 130 Kph) and the nearest city is about 3 and a half hours away!

I'm not far from you Bosendorfer88, I live in Quebec city, Canada. (Hope you aren't the person selling it's bosendorfer in montreal region on lespac, it's a shame to get rid of such an instrument! )

I live in Warren, about two blocks north of Detroit. Talk about beautifull! I don't know if you heard, but our Mayor (now former Mayor)....I should say Detroit's former Mayor is in jail for about 110 more days or so.

I'm gonna have to get out of here soon.

I'm originally from Bangkok . I came over to England for high school... can't believe it's been 8 years! I now live in Cambridge, 75 miles from London. I'm living in a pretty house with three housemates. And our University is celebrating the 800th anniversary this year

I live one block from Lake Michigan and most of the year it's a wonderful place to be. However, in the winter (about now by the way) it sucks and I'd rather be in 'no where Texas'.

Hey Hank, I know exactly[/b] where that is!

Thanks for the link to your blog in your profile.

I live in Istanbul, Turkey

Where I live, Massapequa is a suburban town 30 miles east of New York City on Long Island. I live in the west section of town in a hamlet known as "The Woods" (named after all the trees). The train station is 10 minute walk away.

I'm trapped here in Trumbull CT in the burbs, with the wild creatures ready to attack at any moment. Squirrels with guns and raccoons with attitude problems.
