it's 13 miles for me.

There is a delivery office 5 mile away but there were no vacancies.

When I stopped at my g/f's (now-ex) house it used to be a 30 mile drive, but it only took 35 minutes, as apposed to the 20 minutes it takes me to get 13 mile.

Would be nice if it was a bit closer, but doesn't really bother me.
