DO YOU CARE<\/a> that if one wants to get an accurate portrayal of where our house is located on online map\/satellite providers such as Google Maps<\/a>, you have to use 7345 instead of 7317?<\/p>\n

The reason, I believe, is because the Census data<\/a> upon which these things are based on (or more accurately, the for-pay mapping services that they are based on which in turn are probably somewhat based on the Census data) lists Iuka as going from 7200-7399. So when you put in 7317, it figures that’s a little more than half way down the street. But in reality, it only goes from 7200 to about 7350, so 7317 is about 3\/4 of the way down the street.<\/p>\n

Why does this matter, you may find yourself asking? Well to you, it probably doesn’t, of course, unless you’re trying to stalk me. But to me, I’m starting a new exercise project. I’ve been trying to think of ways to exercise. Early mornings are out because I just don’t see myself reaching to get up early and go do it. So I thought of going on the evenings, and riding a bike around.<\/p>\n

But, I thought that would get pretty boring, and so I knew that I needed to make this into some sort of game or competition. It’s a guy thing I’m sure. My first thought was to track how long I rode each day and track that against my EFC route to simulate going through all 88 Ohio counties. But then I thought since that route is like 1200 miles, it might not be a good short-term goal. So I came up with the idea of riding on every street in Madeira<\/a>. I found a map online and modified it to suit my devious devices. I didn’t attach it because it’s like 150 KB, but if you want to see it, here it is.<\/p>\n

This is reminiscent of a project that my friends and I had when we were teenagers. We made it a goal to drive on every street in North Olmsted. This ended in the infamous “Elston” fiasco. <\/p>\n

In any case, I wonder how many trips this will take. Or really, whether or not this will actually ever happen. But I figured something like this not only makes it into a competition, it also engages the other insane part of me that likes planning routes and such. I will keep you posted….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
