Les “counties” du Canada
The mob-rule.com website has been a county-collecting hub for years. Here’s my map. I’ve divided the past 14 years into two-year chunks, but won’t be switching this time for two reasons: I’m running out of colors, and in 2011 I … Continue reading

May 9, 2009: North of York, Nebraska, on my way back from Denver. I took US 34 through about the central third of Nebraska. The 100-degrees-west line of longitude, which is still a ways west from here, is judged by … Continue reading

June 24, 2009: South end of I-380. Notice each shield has the state name on it. This interchange also includes the rare sighting of Exit 0. But this page is for 80. I’ve been on it from its east end … Continue reading

August 14, 2005: For an awkward time after the Second Great Decommissioning, Louisa and Des Moines counties tried this “neither-fish-nor-foul” naming convention. It was particularly odd in this case, when IA 79 had been J20 before 1980. All of this … Continue reading

October 29, 2004: East end of IA 78 in Louisa County. The mileage sign in the background shows the distance to…nothing. Instead of covering up the top line, the “99” on the shield was removed when IA 99 was decommissioned.

Class A football: 2002 vs. 2012
Expanding on my post from yesterday, here’s a more expansive breakdown. In 2002-03, Class A had 67 teams. The 8-man (technically “8-player”, since girls play football too) class expanded from 26 to 40. In 2012-13, those classes will have 63 … Continue reading
