My driveway is 280 feet long (0.05 miles). It is not surprising that after 25 years I had to replace a couple of cracked slabs. One was lifted 6 inches off the ground by a tree root.
As a side note: I drag my trash cans 0.05 miles up and 0.05 miles back down every week. That’s one tenth of a mile times 50 weeks (allowing for vacation) or 5 miles a year. Times 25 years, that works out to 125 miles.
It’s worse for the mail. Mail is delivered 300 times a year (taking out Sundays and Federal Holidays), so that’s 30 miles a year. I’ve walked 750 miles just to get the mail since I’ve owned the house.
Hey, give a data analyst some data and this is the kind of stuff he does with it.

Looks like the asphalt was a little toasty today.

Why do we drive on a parkway and park in a driveway? I know very old joke! LOL!
