I just finished painting a new bedroom with Benjamin Moore's 522 Aura
Matte Finish. I was able to apply a deep dark red color choice (AF-290
Caliente) over new drywall without a primer! Two coats and it looks
perfect. I laid down a new floor the next day and scuffed up the walls
a bit. I came back with a brush and touched up. Perfection! This paint
has the best touch up characterisitcs of any paint I've ever used.

With the advent of their patented waterborne colorant, Benjamin Moore
has proven once again to be a leader in paint and color.

Nonsense. He's posting from Flemington, NJ.

Benjamin Moore's headquarters is in Montvale, NJ.

That's over SEVENTY MILES apart!

That is about three days by horseback.
No way they could be connected.

I recently read Rockwell Kent's [1] autobio, /It's Me O Lord/, in which
he recounts many journeys he made both on horseback and on foot. (He
grew up in what was literally the horse-and-buggy era.) He could have
*easily* covered that distance in less than a day.

because it generates considerable business for me in consulting and
upgrades. As long as there is hardware and software out there that
doesn't work, I stay in business. Incidentally, my company motto is
"If this stuff worked, you wouldn't need me".

We both may be correct depending on terrain, weather, etc.
http://www.theoriginalseries.com/traveltimes.htm
The average times are calculated, loosely, on 20-30 miles per day,
(depending on terrain) with a rest day every 4-6 days. Sitting on a walking
horse for hours and hours at a time is agonizing. It is much easier to trot
and canter 25 or 50 miles than to walk/jog 15. -for the horse as well as the
rider (speaking of a fit horse) A horse can walk about 3mph so that gives
you about ten mile legs at the walk between breakfast and lunch and lunch
and supper. Notice those are average times, not maximum times.

The Gray havens are on both sides of there the River Lhun just widens
to become the Gulf of Lhun. There does not appear to be a bridge across the
River Lhun and you will need to cross for quickest transit; so assume a
ferry.

Either over or around Tower Hills slows pace.
