This Thursday is my long walk day. Since last time I was asked to shoot Leprechauns without a license, I thought I'd do something different. I didn't need somebody suggesting I look for other mythological beasts like a punctual Californian, or an honest lawyer. So, instead I offer you this: Guess how many coffee shops I pass on my walk. This does include Starbuck's, so get out your calculators.
Now have fun!

Ok, how many blocks is your walk?? That'll decide my answer. ;)
How many blocks? Blocks? I dunno! That's like "how many seconds are in a year (31,536,000 by the way). How many blocks are in a mile? is there an official measurement?
I found a web site that argues city blocks/country miles, but that brings a new question: What's the difference between a country mile and a regular one? Is that like the span of 20 goats or something? How many oodles are in a country mile?
If I bring a box of Legos, there's 500 blocks, but if haul a backyard car on my back there's only 4. There's three owl licks to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop, is that relevant? If a train leaves Los Angeles going 50 MPH, why aren't I on it?
I don't know how many blocks, but I can tell you it's between 8 and 9 miles if that helps.
lol
I was just playing off the "there's a Starbucks on every block" theory. :)
Well I've seen blocks with more than one. When I was in New York, standing in line for my morning coffee, I could look out the plate glass window to see another Starbuck's across the street. It's like one of those infinite mirror models. Well not really a model when I can do it in my own bathroom, huh? That's not to say there's a Starbuck's in my bathroom...
ANYWAY...
I can tell you that I live in a lesser world where the Starbuck's to city block ratio is seriously diminished. Now if we were talking about McDonald's...
