… and since you'll be in Canada, why not see the beauty of B.C.'s Sunshine Coast?

Because mosquitos! Pharmacist: oh, you are a super reactor! Me: what does that mean? Him [pointing to my scarlet arm]: that! (I am now the proud owner of a mosquito blouse I bought in BC. Gorgeous place.

A super-reactor? Is that what powers the mech suits in Pacific Rim?

I'm telling you, on that day, the heat from my arm could have powered DC.

*ouch* still...

It’s just next door… ok, next ocean, same difference. 😇

I hiked the Pacific Crest Trail in 2022... After that, almost everything seems walkable. 🙃

It's within walking distance*! ;) *technically

Aha! You live in England, were 100 miles away is a long way, as opposed to North America, where 100 years ago is a long time

As the expression goes in America (and even more so Canada) one hundred years is a long time, in Europe one hundred miles is a long distance.

A hundred miles in the US, you’re in another state; in Europe you’re in another country; in the UK you’re in the sea.

Well, east to west, maybe.

You can never get more than 70 miles from coastal waters in the UK.

Yes, but you can easily travel a hundred miles or more in one direction if you are going north to south (or vice versa) without ending up in the water.

Oh yes, we did 180 miles yesterday to get home, largely in a straight line, did not get our feet wet.

Not with my sense of direction.

Okay, so never get in a car Adrian is driving is my takeaway here.

Honestly good advice for a number of reasons.

*takes notes*

Scotland???

If only like deep one hybrids we could return to the sea...

I mean you can, just not for very long.

'One day my gills will come...'

I mean, on the scale of the universe... 🤣
