Thank you everyone, I will be using the mug daily, so sorry budney, I am a big coffee drinker.
I don't consider it a victory Charlyee, it's fun to do & I have been enjoying doing it, wasn't even thinking of it as a contest. I found something else I like doing here.

You are right, it is fun and has been for me also. Some of the strange looks and questions I got actually added to the fun

I got a couple more towers yesterday. That should put me at 50. Now I need to work on getting to 100. That will definitely take a long time now that I've gotten most of the towers I pass on a regular or rare basis. I'll have to keep my eyes peeled on my trips to San Antonio and FL this summer.

Some of my pics from Saturday aren't great b/c of the cloudy skies in the morning. I was able to grab shots as we drove all over town for the marathon. My father-in-law finished the 13-mile 1/2 marathon in less than 2.5 hours. Not bad considering the Kenyan who won finished the full 26 miles in about 2.4 hours.

Thanks much Fire14, it's been a lot of fun. I also discovered that there are a lot more towers around here than I thought.

Does this mean I have to start drinking coffee?

I remember a thread in the Roaming Zone with members pictures, an 2 with there mugs. I might be willing to do that.

As for starting to drink Coffee, it's good to drink coffee, I love being wired all day long, you might enjoy it.

Having the new camera should be good motivation.
