tinyE: Sounds like the OP lives in the middle of nowhere. Finally I'm not alone. :P
Sachys: I didnt ever think 2.5 miles was that far in the US.
It isn't, although I underestimated the distance - it was actually four miles. (Just checked on Google Earth.)
Still, not very far at all - a couple of songs on my phone either way. I was in the store longer than I was driving on either leg, trying to explain paysafecard to the clerk, until she just told me to check out their prepaid thing, and I found a little card on the bottom of their prepaid kiosk display that basically just contained instructions for the clerk on how to access paysafecard in her syste.
I don't live in the middle of nowhere, either, I just happen to live in a town which is geographically near to some major interstate and turnpike exchanges.
