Thank you all so much for the notes. I’m trying to keep from flooding my own post, so I’ll hit a few here

The statistics shared by you indicates that adding roads contributed 41.37% in the journey of Level 10. That’s a significant one.
Enjoy the black beauty.
Thank you Kumaar! Yeah, the TRAC Meet definitely acted as a slingshot this year. And thanks for pointing out the new badge color. Black is my favorite!

Happy to see good-behaved users like you who’re doing well on Maps, reaching level 10.
Thanks Amir. Though I’m serious about Mapping, I’m not very well behaved in real life 
. I definitely did not take the easy route to get to 10.

Wow 8 years of wow wow a busy last year!!! I actually did note that it happened when I started processing the numbers of the current leaderboards. A Pegman? I reckon a pair of socks would come in handy too
Adam, thank you very much. I’ve never been shy about the impact the Leaderboards have had on getting me motivated. Recall my excitement when I added 1,000 Points A Month after I discovered the fun of trying to get myself on the boards.
I could use a new pair of socks, yes, since my original ones shrunk to a comically small size after the first wash 
. But, the pin is something I’ve always wanted. I’ve got a place for it on my moto jacket right next to the Pixel Superfans pin.

Congratulations on reaching this impressive milestone! Your contributions are impactful.
Sir, I appreciate your kind words. That is the whole reason I enjoy working on the Map as an LG; making a positive impact. And, I hope you know that it was our little race at the end of the first TRAC Meet (which you won) that helped me hone my skills in hunting and drawing.
