Is it true that SwensonJ earned the Speed racer achievement?
- In principle, yes.
But it was not a road, but a parking lot, with no posted speed limit; also, you can't read the photo (2012-09-25 42 -90).

GeoSquishy Templates
I've got a couple of ribbon templates for tracking GeoSquishy progress: you can see them at
User:Swensonj/template/SquishyStars and User:Swensonj/template/SquishyProgress. If you're good with the wiki stuff, I'd like a bit of help with these. (How come my plural detection doesn't work?)
