A nomadic bear

[chickenfeet]

According to this bopeepsheep has always lived within twenty minutes drive of her place of birth. I am not sure I have ever lived quite that close. Even my first few years were spent ten very urban kilometers or so from my birth place and it has been down hill since then. The distance peaked in 1993 when I was living in Melbourne which must be more than 20000km from Manchester. Most of the last 20 years though has been spent in Ottawa and Toronto which are a little over 5000km from Manchester by the great circle route over Goose Bay and Southern Greenland. Its perhaps no coincidence that my rugby club is called the Nomads.

Have I made good choices? There is time to see yet. Arcadian? Lemon? Say what you like!

That's twenty miles, not twenty minutes, although the way my dad drives that's pretty much the same thing for him. For the rest of us the journeys can be up to 40 minutes, given that there are one-way-systems, ring-roads, and a motorway to contend with en route.
