Re: Collecting States, Dead Presidents, Libraries

I collect Post Offices.

As a photographer, I use them to break my photographer's block, which happens from time to time even though I live in an incredibly scenic spot.

Around 15k miles/year in the 4 years I've been here.

Was less, but then I unretired myself last year and now I go around all the eastern half of the state photographing houses.
