I drive from home in NW Houston to work (inside the 610 loop) one way 26 miles. Friendswood is further south.

I hate MapQuest.
Goggle says your 46.4 mi away. But it didn't change your ranking - still number 2.

Your now at the #1 spot. I suspect that may hold for awhile.

OK, it's time to play "trump"

297 miles from my front door to the Best Western in Clear Lake where I have a reservation. PSC is actually further yet. I'm using Delorme's Street Atlas and am getting the calculation from it. I'll be able to demonstrate it when I arrive.
