The cat distribution system works in mysterious ways. This guy was hiking and making a video when he was attacked by a very hungry kitten. He made the mistake of giving the kitten several cat treats that he carries (along with dog treats) in his hiking gear. Feeding the hungry is a natural response, but it sealed his fate. That bit of food powered heroic persistence and a world class purr. The upshot is that the guy, who had a YouTube channel devoted to hiking videos, changed it to a cat channel named after Taz. Yes, they go hiking together. (Thanks, Newton!)

21 k is 13 miles.
Each mile is close as damn it to 1.6 kilometres (spelt the same as the people who devised the system, and as in every English speaking country except the USA)
1.6 kilometres is 1600 metres.
Sounds difficult, right ?
So swap it around, 1,000 metres is 1 kilometre, kilo means a thousand, keep that in mind.
1 kilometre equals, again, as close as damn it, 0.621 of a mile, or 6/10ths of a mile ... so if you are travelling at, say, 60 miles an hour, you simply multiply that 60 by 6/10ths, then add the 0.661, a bit of tax at 15%, allow for different inflation in your two rear tyres (proper spelling) if rear wheel drive, and then subtract the 0.04 you wrongly added at step 2 ... simple right ?
At some point you will have to swap to metric, it seems a bit weird that you haven't done already.
With the tariff palaver going on right now, I expect the Chinese to insist that you do adopt the metric system, they for sure are annoyed at having to convert every measure from metric they use to one based on the body parts of an English king ... from centuries ago.
Where I live (paradise) we swapped to metric in 1976, it would have been sooner but the government treated us like we are a bit slow, so waited 10 years until we had become used to the decimal system.
yes, we used to used 'pounds, shillings, and pence' ... not pounds like you do, pounds weight, but pounds as a monetary unit, each pound had 20 shillings, each shilling had 12 pennies ... it was very close to the imperial measuring system, that you still use !
I still come across some stuck in the mud cretin who talks about something 2 feet long ... I stare at those people until they click and say 'Oh, I meant 600mms'
You probably have people like that, living in a shack up the sides of some lonely mountain, 2 string banjo leaning against his rocking chair,a few chickens wandering around, daughter pregnant yet no other males around for 35 ... kilometres.
Lol.
