Default Commute question

How many roping arenas do you pass on your commute to and from work?

I pass four (three outdoor and one indoor.). I was wondering if this was average or a bit low?

Calves. Though people and horses are involved.

There are no roping arenas anywhere in my house, so the answer would be "zero".

But on my way Del Taco, I pass a Wendy's, a 7-11, a Jiffy Lube and there is a Subway on the other side of the parking lot. And an Albertson's. And a Super Cuts. And a Big Lots. And a frame shop. And a cell phone store.

The best part? No wolves, though I'd be for introducing them into my neighborhood if they'd eat my neighbor's Yorkies.

One if I have to feed the horses for my wife on the way home. Otherwise zero.
However, I pass by Y-12, a nuclear weapons component factory. that can kick a roping arena's butt.

Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.

Just one, but my commute is only 1.8 miles.
