Look! Seeing 1's

Okay, we're a little obsessed with house numbers and playing our little games with them. That's why these house numbers just knocked us down with delight when we passed them on a walk yesterday...

1111! How awesome is that? The repetitive 1's kind of reminded us of gas stations running out of 4's when gas hit the $4.40/gallon point. No one had ever needed so many 4's before.

If we lived at this address, we'd be tempted to post each of the 1's in a different font.
