Chuckled when I saw that, too - although from experience, that's how it feels sometimes. Blessings and protection prayers for this soldier and all the others in harm's way.

63,026 miles awayI was wondering if that was the distance as the satellite link flies. Otherwise, ???

Good morning.
"...a man 63,026 miles away."
He must have missed his offramp and had to take the long road.

"63,026 miles away"That puts him about a quarter of the way to the moon.
Maybe it's 2 pings off geosynronous satellites?

It's about, but not exactly, 1.5 geosynchronous satellite links, as well. Methinks the number fails the sanity check. Other than that, the story was pretty good.
