Don't know about everyone else, but I'm rapidly running out of letters. This post adds G to my list of exhausted starting letters along with five others.

I have less of a shortage, counting the photos copied from my camera to my laptop. Problem is that I'm too busy to edit them (they're not web-postable as they come out of my camera). Also, I just spent a few days at a remote hot spring resort with limited internet access.

Three-and-a-half days is what can happen when someone plays an N ending letter, when the people with N starting letters are temporarily out of the game.

N, Y, and E are the first letters to run out.  I avoid posting those.  I also avoid some other letters that appear much more commonly at the end of words than at the start, like R, T, D, and K.  The way I look at it, if a street name ends in a letter that a lot of names start with, it adds value to the game.

I do have a Y... but it also ends in Y. But that's alright, the Y rule exists!

Yancey >> "Y" City (Mount Ida can be played because of the Y rule)

I take pictures of road signs, that's about it.

General rule of thumb: Just stay in the "Traffic Control" section of the forum and you'll be fine.
