Almost there... Almost there... You can do it...

My car reached 229,000 miles today. The distance to the moon is 238,856 miles. I'm almost to the moon! Yeehaw... It's been a helluva ride, too.

Oy, now I'm still gonna have to go back to earth once I reach the moon. Oh well, if the ride back to earth is half as interesting as the ride to the moon, I'll consider it a bargain.
