Horses are okay, too.. Just as long as they're not mine. 
I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...

Couple thousand miles, and a world away. Most of the time just close enough, but the MIL is visiting next week, so closer than I'd like

So far, I think I am in the lead for the greatest distance... According to Google Earth, I live 3951 miles (6359 km) from where I grew up -- and yes, there was a woman involved -- a Swedish one  . John Not only the greatest distance but also the easiest explained.
We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?

About 942 miles, but have lived a lot farther away. When I die, my family has agreed to spread my ashes in the marsh at the head of Lone Oak Bayou south of Anahuac, Texas. Until then, I don't plan top be living (or dying) anywhere closer...

I am still here. My folks lived about forty feet from where my house sits, when they brought me home from the hospital.
My five siblings and I all went through school in this small town. All of my kids did also. All three of our kids live in town about ten minutes from our house, so all of my grandkids are still going to the same school where I spent twelve years.

We moved around quite a bit when I was growing up. I live about 90 miles from where I was born and about 10,000 miles from the farthest place I lived as a kid.

About 25 miles. Only moved to be closer to the airport since I used to do a lot of business travel.

4,800 miles or 1,600 miles depending on what ages.
No Swedish women involved, unfortunately.

Rural central North Dakota was too civilized for me...
