How Long is “A Country Mile”?

What’s the origin of the phrase a country mile? Vida from Rochester, New York, says her husband often uses it, as in “go about a country mile and then make a left.” The expression goes back at least 300 years in the United Kingdom and has long meant “an approximate distance.” Bumpy, unpaved, curvy roads out in the countryside may make a real mile feel much longer. Variants include Irish mile, Welsh mile, Scots mile, and Kentish mile. The idiom often turns up in baseball, where announcers exaggerate the distance by saying a ball was hit a country mile or a pitch missed by a country mile. The word mile itself comes from Latin for “one thousand,” suggesting the measure of “a thousand paces.” This is part of a complete episode.

Rochester Reads turns its sights to Gaza

Rochester Reads is celebrating 25 years of asking the community to read one book – and then come together to discuss it. This year, Writers & Books has selected two titles — one being Omar El Akkad’s “One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This.” El Akkad has described the book as a kind of breakup letter with the West. He writes of the devastation in Gaza and the plight of the Palestinian people. Writers & Books says the book “underscores literature’s capacity to bear witness to the lives, places, and issues that are often left in the margins.”
