Measured in Miles
   One daughter lives twenty-eight miles away. It takes forty-five minutes to reach her. Another daughter lives two hundred and eighty kilometers away. It takes four hours to get there. The last daughter lives two thousand and eight hundred miles away. It takes four seconds to turn on the phone and hit the speed dial. - Al Horn
