Science tells us the following is true:
  • At the equator, the earth’s circumference is approximately 24,874 miles.
  • The earth rotates on its axis at the equator at approximately 1,000 mph.
  • The earth orbits the sun @ 67,000 mph.
  • Our solar system orbits the Milky Way galaxy @ 504,000 mph.
  • The Milky Way galaxy moves through space @ 90,000 mph.
  • Our Local Group moves through space at 1,350,000 mph.
If the above is true, you and I are moving at a total of 2,012,000 miles per hour!
That’s 3,353.333… miles per second!
Well, no. Some of the motions are at least occasionally retrograde.

I always liked a hillside house with a view.:woot:
Pittsburgh is a really beautiful city if you can overlook the grime (like most major cities have.) It's got a few rivers that intersect between house lined hills, and a lot of interesting older architecture, including lots of neat bridges. It's much less smokey today than it was when the steel operations were at their peak.

I know you were joking, but i myself would prefer a downtown view (cities look especially beautiful from above or far away) than a boring ol' bunch of trees on hills.

I grew up much closer to the flat Philadelphia, and was always impressed with Pittsburgh's overall layout
