Ach, Charmion! I "collect" (accumulate) old maps of all sorts including outdated highway maps. I decorate with them, covering the insides of lamp shades, walls, table tops, pocket folders..

Won an argument with my mother with a highway map of Wisconsin from the '60s -- towns drop off the map when the population drops below a hundred.

In the '90s when no one could remember where he lived, I said Hika and was ridiculed for years by my mother. (Family gatherings were so much fun...) . It was no longer on the map. Then I bought a batch of road maps at a yard sale and showed her Hika...
