I found that the [[Jacksonville, Florida|Jacksonville, Florida]] geohash for Thursday, October 12, 2006 was just under a kilometer from my house, and in the middle of a nearby road[[user:Woodveil/stats|.]] Moreover, I certainly drove directly over the hash twice, once on the way to school and once on the way back, and in those days I carpooled with another girl who went to my high school, making her an unwitting drag-along. Oh the [[Curse of Unawareness|Curse of Unawareness]].
