One Million Miles

Matt is honored for driving one Million miles without an accident. WOW!!!!! This is no little thing - Matt is honored at the company picnic - the owner of the company gets up and says a ton of nice things about Matt and then proceeds to give him a ton of stuff. First the plaque and certificate. Next is a coat - a really good one with the liner that comes out and is two coats in one. A belt buckle with the one million mile safety insignia on it. Two hats - a sun visor -a flashlight - a debit card with $100 dollars on it and a $5000 savings bond.


And they put his name on the door of his truck. This is all very cool. I must add a whole lot better then a trophy. Now it took 12 years to drive these million miles. This is just driving the northwest - I think he knows the roads up here.

So I have been trying to figure out how far is one million miles. And if you figure that it is about 5500 miles to Jackson Mississippi, up to D.C. and then back again- that is approximately 182 trips. So I wonder how many trips it would be if we went to Pullman, Pocatello, Salt Lake then Jackson, up to D.C. and then home?


Well, to Matthew - congratulations - you deserve all the hoopla for all the hard work you do - Job well done!!!!!!!
