Everywhere I've lived in the western US distances have always been expressed in hours instead of miles. I can't tell you how for it is from Seattle to Portland in miles without working it out in my head. I know right away it's 3-1/2 hours to downtown Portland. Spokane is four hours. Boise is eight hours. It's 6 hrs from Oakland to LA on the 5.

If I don't know what the drive time is off the top of my head, I will figure it in hours. So how far to Walla Walla? Pasco is 3-1/2 hours, then Walla Walla has to be over 30 minutes from Pasco, but probably less than an hour, so probably not quite 4-1/2 hours to Walla Walla from Seattle.

Brings back memories
My mom and dad had a bar for 51 years
That’s the only thing I remember having to dry your hands
Changed more of those than you can shake a stick at.
Couldn’t clog the toilet , or a sink with this, paper towels you can.

"Mary was merry the day she was to marry."

Do you pronounce all three "m" words the same?

I thought it was an Ohio thing. I've posted numerous times that we live about 20-25 minutes depending on traffic from the Wyndham Pompano Beach resorts but I have no idea how many miles it is.

Tank, when my 34 year old daughter saw that, she said..."was that really a thing?" This is the same daughter who works for Staples and sells facility supplies like hand dryers and paper towel dispensers now! LOL :LOL::LOL:

Lol. That's awesome. There are a few speech differences - I distinctly recall the first time I heard an American say "foyer."
Then there the story of how Canada got it's name.

Seems that a bunch of the founding fathers were sitting around one night, drinking beer, ya know. And they had this country but they didn't know what to name it. So they argued this way and that way and no one could agree. So they finally decided to just put a bunch of letters into a toque and pull them out and see what happens.

So the first guy puts his hand in and draws a letter, He says, "I got a C, eh." The second guy does the same. He says, "I got a N, eh." The third guy draws his letter. "I got a D, eh."

So they put them all together: C-eh-n-eh-d-eh. Canada.
