There is a highway distance sign on (Ontario) highway 7 near Peterborough that gives the distance to both Toronto and to Ottawa - yet Peterborough is *between* Toronto and Ottawa. If you make a U-turn at that point and travel along highway 7 for a while, the first distance sign you encounter will also list the distance to Toronto. -- _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
