Hate to be the wet blanket here, since more N____s help keep things moving. But Newton was played, and responded to, yesterday about halfway up this page (which is why jbnv's sign with Newton on it -- and his musing about maybe later pulling out a Natchez -- is in a quote), with with several more posts following. The most recent city played is Watson Lake, so we need an E____ to follow that.

That's twice that I've screwed up on this thread.  How can something so simple be so complicated?

I was not expecting this to get stuck on "o".

Probably doesn't help much, but let's see.

Dawsonville => Easton (this one in WA), or Ellensburg (destination already played with another photo):

Lots of options here.

Norwalk => Keauhou Bay (HI), and also Kailua and (per A and Y rules) Volcano:



Now I'm down to just three of my own photos to play in this game -- an M___, a W____, and a V____ I tried to play but was beaten out by less than two minutes. I also have a few other ready-to-play photos pilfered from AARoads photo galleries, just to help keep the wheel spinning, but those are low-priority.

Invoking the "A" rule to go from Atlanta to Cumming to Gainesville

"You know, you never have a guaranteed spot until you have a spot guaranteed."
—Olaf Kolzig, as quoted in the Washington Times on March 28, 2003,
commenting on the Capitals clinching a playoff spot.

"That sounded stupid, didn't it?"
—Kolzig, to the same reporter a few seconds later.

OK, time to restart this. I held off playing the last E____ I could scounge from the AARoads photo collections, until after recovering from eye surgery enough to bring my scanner back to life, and finding at least one more E___ in my film photo shoeboxes.

Even with that, I might be almost tapped out on E___s, as I suspect have some others in this game. If people keep playing ____e placenames, we might need to revisit previous suggestions for rules changes to deal with that problem.

Anyway, for now

It's possible that I might have some more E____s. I've thus far tried not to play cities that I've already played previously (even with different photos), but if need be I can probably scrounge up a couple. Seeing as how I only had two such cities to begin with though, that probably won't get us very far either.

I'm running out of Ds too, but I can keep us going here...

Elwood => Dacula:

My T-shirt, which I bought at the Mall of America on my way to Alaska for the first time in 1994, was very popular with shopkeepers everywhere.
