And I used to live just down the road from Paris, whilst also a
reasonable drive from Rome, Denmark, and Ithaca.

By my definition of a "reasonable drive", I'm not to far from Berlin
(2), Paris, Mexico, Norway, Oxford (3), Carthage, Cambridge (2),
Gloucester, Dover (4), Calais (2), Madrid, Manchester (4), Moscow,
Worcester, Portland, Boston, New Boston, and probably others you'd
recognize.

Of course, I'm also a "reasonable drive" from Ossipee, Chocorua, East
Sebago, Vinalhaven, Mattawamkeag, Winooski, Assonet, Mashpee,
Nashaquitsa, Aquinnah, Siaconset, Poquonock, Wheatogue, and that's not
even getting as far as New York.

(Where a "reasonable drive" is not more than about six hours.)
