Saw this on Kotkke and on Kareem’s blog so I decided to join in the fun. Here’s a list of all the cities where I spent at least one night during 2005. Cities with an asterisk are cities with 2 or more non-consecutive nights. It’s in roughly chronological order.

West Hartford, CT*
Bensalem, PA*
Boulder City, NV
Grand Canyon, AZ
Bryce, UT
Springdale, UT
Zion Canyon National Park, UT
Las Vegas, NV
Southwest Harbor, ME
Williamstown, MA
Bar Harbor, ME
San Francisco, CA
Los Angeles, CA
Cheektowaga, NY

2005 was a pretty blah travel year… I didn’t leave the country except for a day trip or two to Canada. Paying for a roof and acting as if we’re saving for a wedding would do that, I guess.

According to the ESPN Fantasy Football Guide, the Vikings play all but just 3 games on artificial surfaces. 13 of their games are on turf: 8 at home, 5 on the road against Cincy, Atlanta, the Giants, Detroit, and Baltimore. In case you’re looking at the running backs or the wide receivers from this team (you are, aren’t you?)… Several other teams are close (basically any team that has turf at their home stadium), but I think the Vikings have the most extreme tilt.
