But if you're driving from Columbia, I believe the 200 miles works out
to more like $50 when you account for both gas and depreciation on the
car, and then you have to park.

Only $0.25/mile? We were getting reimbursed here at $0.37/mile before gas prices when through the roof. You also have to account for the lost time if you are driving yourself and can't read/write/etc. The shuttle is probably a better idea (unless you get into a terrible accident like the one Stephen was in; accidents are much more likely on a shuttle than on an airplane).


A lot of people will greatly prefer the plane.  We'll see how they do.


Not to St. Louis or KC. I do think Chicago is a viable route, although I have to admit there is some risk, and it might not really take off (heh) until Boone County crosses the 250K population mark.

It has to happen eventually!

If Walmart keeps having problems, maybe the Walton heirs will start flying in commercial jets. Ha -- just kidding!
