I traded in my car a couple of weeks ago and the guy at the dealer was so shocked that I only drove 11k miles in 4 years. He was like, do you even buy groceries? Well, working from home and strategically living close to all the places I regularly need to go to makes me drive less. As for me getting a new car after just 4 years, that’s another story.
Farmers <-- (hand hold meme) --> city dwellers: "Being able to get eggs at any time of day"
Don't the farmers have to wait on the chickens to lay some tho?
Normal distribution with outliers meme:
you forgot the dreaded "does your truck have 4 seats to bring the whole family with?"
I have some chickens, I haven't had to wait on eggs. I have had to give some to the neighbors though.
Google had sent me an update of my usage for November and was all, "You drove 35 miles this month!"
It usually tells me things like 150 km, and then I go though and it's another misclassified train trip
Lol
I walk double that per month if I believe Google maps stats.
