Number of Items on My Refrigerator Shelves

I go grocery shopping every two weeks.

Here are the number of items on my shelves as they stand three days after grocery shopping:
If regular consumption holds, here are the number of items on my shelves as they stand three days before grocery shopping:
The top shelf apparently stays full--just the milk typically gets depleted. The reason is that water and extras stay on that shelf; by extras, I mean that those items move to other places as I run out of those items in the other places

Interstates I've Driven and Ridden

I have lived most of my adult life in the South. Hence, most of my Interstate driving has been in the South, as this map shows, the West Coast driving being mostly my moves back and forth and back from California. The yellow are the Interstates, the purple those I've driven.

However, if we include driving from when I was a kid, and my parents took me with them on various trips, my West Coast Interstate experience increases exponentially. Most of the Interstates I knew, in fact, back then were western. The few Northeast Interstates I've ridden on are from trips I've taken as an adult, which generally involve flying to an area to visit with others who then drove me to other places. The yellow are the Interstates, the purple are those I've driven, the red those I've ridden.

Here's the chart for all time as of the end of October:
If I were to add in November, the numbers would skew even more in favor of the present configuration. Since then, however, I've used my cell phone hardly at all.
