RE: Fed EX crap? WAS:Re: More UPS Crap
US cities are not very densely build, with decreasing density from the core to the outskirts, compared to European cities, which are more compact. 15 minutes on a bicycle has a greater reach in Europe because of that. You pay for it with the amount of space available (smaller house and yard). I don't know what the best option is. I like the idea of 15 minutes on a bicycle, although most countries are not well prepared for that in terms of separate bicycle lanes etc. Frits Wüthrich Tom Rittenhouse: Tom Rittenhouse typed unto us: big context SNIPThe street directory says it is about as far away as it could be and still be in the Charlotte area. Ah, there it is a little spur of a road, off of that road, off of a road I know about. Thirty minutes latter I am there. Must be nice to live somewhere that this could be true. Living on the western outskirts, I can drive much more than an hour (without traffic) and still be in the Atlanta Metro Area. To think I once drove 12 miles out of town (in Michigan) and gave up finding my friend's house. NOBODY would live THIS far from town I thought Well I grew up in Detroit where it is about two hours from one side of town to the other on the expressway. So Charlotte is not bad, except that it is about 3 times as big as it was 10 years ago. I used to know a guy that lived 3 hours each way out of Detroit and did the commute every day. I thought he was crazy. Personally, I now think that any town that it take more than 15 minutes to get to anywhere in on a bicycle is too big. --graywolf - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

OH! Pentax content here: I acquired a SMC F 35-80 4-5.6 this week from an EBAY seller. We used USPS to ship and had no problems:) paid $45USD (including shipping) and it came with both caps, Cir. polarizer, UV filter, and a Hoya red (25A) filter. Not too bad I think. Cory Waters The 35-80 is an underrated lens.I took one photo with it (on Agfa Optima 100) that an acquaintance borrowed and had blown up to 30 x 40 inches. The photo is acceptably sharp at any viewing distance beyond having your nose on it. You'll be satisfied with this lens. Joe - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
