Visited many more.  When it comes to looking at the numbers of each, I am well-aware many of you would win with a much bigger score even though it isn't a competition.  There are places I have lived for long periods of time.

 Remembering - Recalling - Reminiscing. . .  Memories are interesting. What sparks recollection is as well.
