				Posts Per Mile
			 
			
			My car has 117,281 miles on the clock.  That means I've driven almost exactly nine miles per post.

			But I don't know how many miles I've driven during my post counting, or how many post I had when I started driving the current car. Capice?

			Out here they have one post per mile.  Usually they say something stupid on them like "mile marker 207".  So you have actually done 117,281 posts.  I think people should be allowed to post their thoughts on mile markers like "don't go to Fred's restaurant - the food is greasy and the waitresses even greasier."

			Let's take the work truck and call it 26 miles per post. Which is a mile per letter of the alphabet.  That seems fitting.

			Does it still count as long division or sexy if you already know that 9*13 = 117?
