My sweetheart in No. Carolina says measurements are as follows,
Next door = 1-2 minutes
Right up the road =5-10 minutes
A couple miles = 10-20 minutes
Not too far = 20-50 minutes
A little ways = over half an hour
A pretty good ways = 2+ hours
I had dinner with some of her friends, wow, I had to pay close attention to figure out what they were saying.
She's been there long enough to translate for me but not long enough to sound like a local herself.
Super people, they do sound a bit different though.. Bless their heart.
or maybe it's me that sounds different....
