Coffee and Discussions on Safety, Philosophy, Religion, and Art

What do you want to discuss over a good cup of coffee? Here is where you can do that. But sometimes an old crusty master sergeant and professor wants to have his way.

How far would you go?

How Far Would You Go?
I would go to Waco to see my girl.  I knew guys that would drive all night to spend one day with the girl of their dreams.
So how far would you go?
I would travel far and wide for work.  It was expected that I would be in Guam or Thule but that was work.  I was getting paid.  Drive to Cheyenne to teach a class and zoom down to Phoenix for another.
Recently we were at a street fest in Elkton and the band was a Beatles cover band. Very good.  And we met people that followed the band, people from NY and NJ.  Crazy? Depends I guess.  Two to 3 hours drive to watch a cover band.  But we do that for sports as well.
Someone asked, how far do you drive to church?  How many minutes?  Why when there a dozen or more on the path there closer?
Why drive to see your favorite girl?  Why travel hours to a party for your sports team?  For the same reason.
Like not all sports teams are the same , churches are different. Different sects and denominations.  Different ideologies, different theologies.  Like the cover band's genre, where we choose to worship is similar.  For us that means we travel a bit further.
