108!
There is a stretch of road nearby that I drive every day. It's just about a mile long. Two lanes each way, plus a turn lane in the middle. Bike lanes at the curb. Normal roadway.
Except. Except the number of iron hole covers in this short stretch of road is huge. I counted over 100 as I drove along. wtf? Sometimes, there would be a collection of four large manhole covers arranged in a square, all together. They are at varying distances from the curb, all the way across the street. Maybe it's some kind of iron casting sanctuary.

106
That's the number of invoices I had to organize and approve for payment this morning. Doesn't sound like a big deal. And I suppose it wasn't, but your hand gets tired writing account numbers and signing off on 106 friggin pieces of paper. Kind of like writing out 106 checks. |

Be sure to open your window and pack a mallet just in case it turns out to be the world's first drive-thru Whac-A-Mole game.

116 - the number on the thermometer outside my window.
108 - the number of stitches waiting for the first person to say, "it's a dry heat!"

I wonder if that is a contributing factor to the rather high proportion of Arizona plates I see. That plate has the highest quantity/distance ratio I've seen. I mean, New York is farther, but I've seen only one of those. Oregon is more common, but is adjacent to Washington. Probably here for some "damp" "heat".
