Last week I had to take my cat to a special vet center in the Chicago suburbs. I took me over 1.5 hours to get there and another 1.5 hours to get from the veterinary hospital to work. By 10 am I had been driving for over 3 hours. I started to think, where else could I have been in 3 hours of driving? In that same amount of time, where could I have traveled? Now, it was rush hour, so that needed to be factored in, but in 3 hours of normal driving I could be in:
Indianapolis, IN
Milwaukee, WI
Madison, WI
Grand Rapids, MI
Sometimes I think about taking off for a little mini-vacation but then think, "Do I really want to drive that far?" But, if instead I think the trip is no longer than what I spent delivering my cat maybe the distances will seem like less.
