Reminder: time is not distance is not time is not distance.
"How far away are you?"
"Bout 20 minutes!"
"How the fuck far away are you IN DISTANCE?"
I assure you, "20 minutes" for an old lady walking with a walker is not the same as "20 minutes" in an F-4 Phantom. A thousand yards versus maybe 350 miles. Or so.
Also a fun one: you call someplace to ask for their address and they say, "well, where ya comin' from?"
Does that change your building's physical location?
Relativistic shit.
