“Just a county or two away” from me, is the middle of DC. They could have called that place “River City”.
A county or two can be a long ways. Until the Corps of Engineers opens the levees . But that was a different storm..
Up here a county or two west puts me awful close to Doltin’ Joe’s hometown of Scranton. A county or two south puts me at the water gap. A county or two east gets me into Connecticut and a county or two north puts me close enough to thumb my nose (or make other hand gestures) at BleepingSon-of-former-emperor-Cuomo.
How big did you say those counties are down there?
