I had some bills and checks to mail for the local Porsche club. Normally our postal carrier gets here just after noon. Our mail box is out on the street. I had everything ready to mail by 9:30 AM and the postal carrier had already left the mail.
So off to the mail box at a local strip shopping center a mile away to get them in the mail today. On the way back, I figured a beer stop to stock up the fridge, not immediate consumption was in order. One of the employees there is a owner-manager and seems to be there most of the times. I had not seen him in 6 or 8 weeks. I asked if he was on vacation, and he said yea, he went home. No to his local house, but back home to see his parents and family in Nepal. I asked if all was well and routine polite conversation about families. Then I asked him how long does it take to get there. He said it is 36 hours of travel time total, each way. Planes, trains and automobiles. I then went home in under two minutes.
