When posting, please quote the instructions for the particular day as a banner at the top of your post, especially if you're the first person to post for that calendar day. Then we know what condition you're satisfying as the basis of your submission. I think it makes it easier for newcomers to see what goes on, and it becomes easier for people to jump in if they want to do so.

In the past, I've only quoted the instructions if I'm the first one for that day.  So I didn't quote the day's topic this time because @wanderer2575 had already posted some for today.  It completely didn't register to me that he hadn't quoted the day's topic, either.

In the "worst possible answer" thread, I have been quoting that day's question every time, because I always felt it made my answer make more sense.  It didn't dawn on me that the same should apply here, but now that you've mentioned it, I agree with you that it would help things be clearer. So I'll start trying to remember to do so here, as well.

Not that it'll take much effort on my part this round. If you haven't noticed, I really don't have a lot of photos that work for interstate/other highway combinations & I have to skip a lot of the days. I'm really hoping the next few rounds move to combinations friendlier for my photo collection.
