Texas as compared to Europe

[dillon]

I FULLY understand Dillon
I know that Alaska is much larger than Texas
It's just I've heard several people complain that
it's too much trouble, and far, to go from - say
Frankfort to Brussels, or Paris to Madrid.
that's like driving from the East side of Dallas,
to the West side of Ft. Worth - during rushslow hour

I recall driving between cities in Spain. The travel advisors would tell us that it would take TWO HOURS to travel among certain cities, as if it was an impossible amount of driving. I'd laugh. My typical day has three to five hours driving, and when I was farming on weekends, I drove five hours each way. Not that I miss it, but people whose cultures don't revolve around highways are easily bewildered by the facts of travel in the US.
