When something catches my curiosity, I'll spend ridiculous amounts of time tracking down enough information to satisfy me.

Someone recently gave me a "Road Atlas of New England and Vicinity, compliments of Jenny Manufacturing Company, established in Boston, 1812". I barely remember Jenny gas service stations from sixty years ago, and was curious how old this atlas is. No dates on the atlas or the maps in it. I spent a ridiculous amount of time researching Jenny Manufacturing, Jenny gas/oil, The National Survey(map company), and the 32 radio stations listed in the Atlas, to narrow the time frame. Failed.

However, I did discover a Steam Jenny is called that because it was invented by the Jenny Manufacturing Company, so not a total loss.
