Today's discussion at this moment is how old it the mile as it is known in the USA. 5280 ft is from Elizabeth the 1st which was the Roman Mile of 5000 ft plus 280. The Roman Mile was called Mille passus which means 1000 paces. This article has other cool tidbits. I often ask people about their persona. How does your person tell time, measure distant, get bread.
