They’re doing well. Good for them.
What happens when you get a yearn for pigs feet in the middle of the night?
English as a second language.
I understand your issue with the above sentence. It is stylistically problematic - but, strictly speaking, grammatically... possible.
A better sentence would be:
I live 5 hours (in each direction; by car) from the nearest grocery store.
But the original sentence conveys the same information in a more-compact fashion - and is, perhaps, more attention-getting.

Yes, that would be interesting to know!

Do you go to grocery stores?
A nice Super Cub is likely to set you back $125k. But they hold their value very well.
But going to the grocery could leave it smelling like food, and if not in a hangar, and no razor wire or electric fence perimeter, the bears could easily shread the fabric when looking for something that’s not there.
“A nice Super Cub is likely to set you back $125k. But they hold their value very well.”
But lose their value quickly if crashed.
Ugh, we got one of those new Krogers a year ago. Hideously organized...many times I have to wait for a tall person coming down the aisle to reach something high up. No one I know likes the new store. They did not improve one single thing! Often I go to the family run grocery down the street from Kroger.
What’s amazing is that engineers & designers did this! My dog could have made it more user friendly.
**But lose their value quickly if crashed.**
Well, gawwllleee, learn something new everyday! lol
“Canadian Yuppie moves the wilderness, but does not know how to live off the land and subsistence hunt, instead drives 5 hours to grocery store.”
Hunting? Trapping might more productive, fishing if a river runs through it, along with an exceptionally short growing season. I wonder if they are near the Frasier and all that beautiful gold.
The movie I was thinking of was “The Grey” with Liam Neeson.
It was about some oil workers plane crash lands in Alaska.
The men are hunted by a pack of wolves.
Liam Neeson played the hunter employed by the oil company to kill wolves that preyed on oil workers on the North Slope.
A good Super Cub goes for about $300k. Top speed is only about 125 mph, though. A big reason they are so beloved as a bush plan is they can take off at under 40 mph and with 400 feet of runway.
They buy their corn shucked! Costs way more and it speeds up decay.
Kroger has generally surly unionized employees.
Meijer has mostly elderly, slow, but friendly workers.
Wal Mart peeps often seem intellectually below par.
In Aldi the workers are working so hard they barely have time to realize customers are there.
Better than a Beaver?
A de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver specifically?
Not the other beaver....
“If they can afford it, I suggest they get a piper super cub.”
What is the life expectancy of a beginner pilot in northern bush country flying a tail dragger?
We are hooked on the NatGeo series “Life Below Zero”.... You can binge watch for weeks. Spectacular scenery and folks living like their ancestors.
The new Carbon Cubs are from 200 to 400k! I’d love to have one. Saw a couple of them land at Glamis sand dunes last week.
lol
