I have this problem lately where I dream that I'm doing numerous calculations in my sleep in the middle of the night.
In this dream, I have this huge appetite for posting where I am at every turn. I feel like I see an * sign where I ping my latest location. I even have this dream where I'm obsessed about seeing all the posts that I've made. I must be playing for points in my dreams.
In reality, I post my whereabouts on Foursquare about 10 times a day. I project that I'll have 10 posts on foursquare today.

From Atlanta to Memphis
Last Month, Kelly and I took a road trip to see my family in Oklahoma. On Wednesday, August 11, 2010, we left home in Acworth, GA, and travel South on I-75.
To bypass Downtown Atlanta, we transition to I-285 ("The Peremiter") West, then South onto I-20. We go West on I-20, pass Six Flags over Georgia, pass the rest of West Georgia, and travel into Alabama. We would have to go through Downtown Birmingham to get to our journey. I-20 and I-59 merge to become one freeway (I-20/59) and I noticed that a Cemetery marked a stopping point for I-20 by itself. My theory is that w/o the Merge with I-59, I-20 would no longer exist.
To get to Memphis, we would have to exit I-20/I-59 at Arkadelphia Road (U.S. 78). It was a sketchy road like Cobb Pkwy and Buford Highway are in Metro Atlanta. 12 miles from the time we exited, U.S. 78 would become a freeway for us.
U.S. 78 is marked as the "Future I-22 corridor" for the length of the freeway from Birmingham to the Mississippi/Tennessee State line. U.S. 78 took on a Northwesterly drive for us.
U.S. 78 would eventually turn into Lamar Avenue and get us to our next spot, I-240 West. Then I-240 would arc North until we exited at Union Avenue. After making the wrong turn (turning right) at the exit, we made a u-turn to get to our hotel.
Along the way, we drove past Sun Records and Auto Zone Park (home of the Memphis Redbirds).
