i was just tickled that the poster said Ft Worth, but the article changed it to Dallas

It's fascinating, man, I gotta tell you. This whole thread is fascinating.

Could somebody tell me how many miles it is from Toronto to Salt Lake City? Enquiring minds must know!

Outdoor venue in Scotland is a brave move even in July. Seems like they'll be using the stands that are set up for the military tattoo in August.

3,056 km, but the real danger is Wyoming during the winter. Winds can get up to 130 kph, and combined with the snow choking the passes past Laramie and Evanston, it's sooo easy for trucks to get rolled or slide off the road. One winter I counted 41 trucks all trapped or crashed onto the shoulders just waiting their turn for a tow. They often get shut down for days at a time for that reason too! Credit to the Wyoming road crews who are actually on top of things - the Nebraska road crews can take a week or more to clear theirs!

I guess I did ask...

Have I told you how big the US is???

(Kidding, I know that's something that folks are always doing.)

Fun fact: You can drive from the Pacific ocean to the Atlantic ocean and spend over 1/3 of your trip in Texas. El Paso is closer to Long Beach than it is to Texarkana, and Texarkana is closer to Savannah than it is to El Paso.
It's a bit over 800 miles, or about 1300km.

I don't think I've seen any specific D&D cultures or species get the "Texas hat." Is there one? I know Battletech has the Taurian Concordat filling the role of "Space Texas."

It is something that gets said in 100% of conversations about travel in the US along with the obligatory identical anecdote about the European visitors who stayed with them and were AMAZED that you couldn’t drive from New York to LA and back in a day. I’m convinced it’s one European family who travels the US Borat-style visiting everybody one-by-one in alphabetical order like Bowerick Wowbagger pretending they’ve never seen a map before. One day they’ll release the compilation in a 9,000 hour YouTube video where they act increasingly amazed in each encounter until they literally explode at the end.

And then somebody trots out that tedious “in Europe 100 miles is a long way while in the US 100 years is a long time” line like we haven’t heard it 72,000 times before, and my ears start bleeding.

Did you know that you can drive 4,000 miles from San Francisco and still be in California?

You just keep driving back and forth from San Francisco to LA over and over and over again.
