Ooooo...going to lecture me about my local geography? :-)


You bet. You falsely claimed as fact that an interstate must connect
two or more states, and I provided a counterexample proving you wrong.
But instead of saying, "Thanks, Jeff, for correcting me", you try to
run away from your error by taking us on a tour of I-5:

Try Interstate FIVE as an illustration...


One example is not enough to prove a proposition true, especially when
a counterexample exists.

I've noticed you do this a lot -- when a claim of your's has been proven
false, instead of acknowledging your mistake, you attack the responder
and go off on some unrelated tangent:

begins at the Canadian border
goes all the way south through Washington, Oregon, California, ends
begins at the Canadian border
goes all the way south through Washington, Oregon, California, ends
at the Mexican border. Over a kilomile long, takes two days to drive
at lawful speeds. Been there, done that, many times.


And here comes the sarcastic remark:

Gee, if I wanted a LECTURE on highways, I'd go to the AAA website
of my local auto club office...they give out free maps to us members.


You're too easy to predict.

Also, it's not "your" local geography -- I grew up in San Clemente,
fought wildland fires all over the Southland while on the SCFD and
CDF, and currently own a home in Ventura County (VC property tax web
site will verify that).
