I'm a
roadgeek. I spent a great deal of my childhood studying maps. I can often find my way around an unfamiliar area merely by knowing something about the highway numbering system in whatever state I happen to be in, for example. I remember road numbers better than street names. My friends often think of me first whenever asking for directions. As a result of this, I help out in
WP:MASH,
WP:NHSH, and other projects under the jurisdiction of
WP:USRD from time to time.
Wikipedia is a roadfan paradise!

I collect and study
license plates (I am a member of
ALPCA). I primarily collect plates from the five states where I've lived:
Maryland,
Virginia,
Massachusetts,
New Hampshire, and
New York, though I do have a 50-state and 13-province run. I typically write/edit articles about state routes here in Massachusetts. An example would be
Route 119. I also poke my fingers into the
Word Association Game on occasion.
