   When it crosses from being in a place you might reach (up) vs a place   
   you cannot reach (far)?   
      
   I like the phrase though. "High and far". To me sounds like a title to a   
   great SF space or space travel story. Or maybe a factual early history   
   of spaceflight novel. If I write such a story can I have the rights to the   
   phrase as a title? What would you charge me? :-) Would you settle for   
   the credit in the 'Acknowlegements' Section?   
      
   Of course, if I was writing the book in the mid-70's it'd be about a   
   bicoastal trip across the USA in a VW microbus, involving a lot of   
   cannibis of the TH vs CB 'C' variety. :-) :-)
