I even had to take a special testing last March, with these hundreds of other people. And of course I didn't get selected for the position.

That's how it was for us in our home, before we got air conditioning. When we first moved in 10 years ago, we figured we might not need A.C., since the climate in this area is usually pleasant...and we get an ocean breeze. However, when we had some brutal heat in the summer of 2004, we became convinced that we needed to invest in an air conditioner. So we got one installed in April of 2005 and have used it anytime it got hot in the house.

Disney World, on the other hand, is in Orlando, Florida. I guess one way to remember that could be Disney WORLanDo?
That is a good way to remember, both I take it as the other Disney theme park is the other one, which is Florida

Yes; Florida is one state that I have never been to. But I think one of my uncles has gone there a few times, many years ago... to Disney World.

Not really; he went on lots of trips. I don't know how he paid for them all; whether his work covered his expenses, or if he really earned enough to take such trips. But I would like to go to some of the places he visited, many of which have been on the East Coast. (I think he went to New York once in the 90's.)

Any relatives out there?

Any relatives out there?

No.

Many relatives on my dad's side of the family (mostly cousins) live in the Midwest, in states like Iowa and South Dakota. When my dad was a boy, he and his family would often take trips during the summer to that part of the US to visit his relatives.

Is South Dakota a good distance away?

From California? Oh yes. The ideal way to get there from where I am, is by plane... but my dad said that his parents often made the trips by driving both ways (which would take several days).

Several days, so it must be far away.

From Pierre, South Dakota to LA (by Google Maps) is 1,503 miles, making 1 day travelling.

1,503 miles in one day? To do that, you'd have to travel nonstop, at a speed of 62.6 miles per hour. There is also the issue of gasoline, which you'd need to stop for every 300 or 400 miles or so.

Is it like a motorway all the way?

Is it like a motorway all the way?

It probably can't be done nonstop, because you would have to stop and refuel the car every 300 or 400 miles or so. I doubt that one could go 1,500 miles on a single tank of gas.

....but the driving could still be shared.

Yes, that is true. When making a long-distance trip in the car, it is best to have at least two drivers, trading off the duties every so often.

It can be dangerous to carry petrol (gas) in a can when in transit, so stopping at petrol stations will have to be done.

Possibly the best setup. Especially the navigator part, for when you're lost and traveling through an area you're not familiar with.

I have had Gmail for about 3 1/2 years and it's been pretty reliable for the most part. But lately I've gotten spammed; anytime I get such a message, I just click the Report Spam button and away it goes.


I started with Gmail last year.

No Junk creeps into mine, thank goodness.

It does get irritating when you receive more junk than normal mail (ie, from your friends, and other people you know).
