I've been having trouble going to sleep at night the last few nights. Rather than counting sheep, I find myself counting the number of providers I've seen. I'm finding it's easiest to do so geographically -- starting in San Francisco and moving eastward through five Texas cities, then further east, ending up in New York. I try to get the same total each time, but darned if every now and then a long-forgotten encounter pops into my brain.
Anyway, I started wondering to what extent my fellow hobbyists and providers keep an accurate tally, written or mental, of their hobby-related encounters. With or without a written record, could you generate an accurate count?
