Hmmm...

This is not going nearly as well as I had thought...


Better to move it over to the discussion forum before I get into any hot water...

Happy Columbus Day!

So, Columbus discovered the New World using the Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria. That's about 3,400 miles in 3 galleons, or about 1133 miles per galleon. How's that for mileage!

Not if you send USPS. However, private couriers are probably running.
