Hello, is anyone out there?

[Barry A. Popik]

Yes, I get them. The last one is "Make a mile."
...
I don't see "make a mile" in Wallace O. Chariton's THIS DOG'LL  REALLY HUNT:
AN ENTERTAINING AND INFORMATIVE TEXAS DICTIONARY (1999):
Pg. 177:
Making progress:
1. getting the corn ground
2. getting the fields plowed
3. getting the calves branded
4. weedin' and seedin'
Pg. 221:
Progressing:
made it to the fast lane but I'm still on a farm to market road
...
...
MISC.
There are no links in this post. I hope people can read a darn AOL
e-mail...It looks like NewspaperArchive took away all the Austin, TX newspapers  that I
was counting on using. Just my bad luck, as usual...I just finished a  post
on the "Herkie" jump. It's not in OED? OED definitely needs more  cheerleaders.
