I live 20 miles from the nearest town, Bill. It takes 20-25 minutes to get
there, with a speed limit of 50 along much of the route. I know that it will
take that long, that I must drive that slowly, so I plan accordingly.
If I lived further from "civilisation" I'd do the same, or move closer if my
brain became numb (what does a numb brain feel like?).
